Brake line: 52" single piece hose. (measured from master cylinder to caliper)
Clutch 73 11/16". Cable adjuster is located at 31 1/2" up from the transmission cover.
Sorry, I don't have the full length measurements for throttle and idle cables. Didn't measure the new ones before I installed them. All I remember is that they were 6" longer than my stock cables. But my stockers are going to be different than yours, since I had the 12" mini apes stock on my SB. Wish I could help you more.
I remember how much I hated shopping for cables when I installed mine!
Cheers,
J

Yeah, but your 16" are much bigger than gimps. I built my bars to similar dim. as the gimps and went +6 on clutch, throttle and idle. +4 would have looked better IMO. My brake line is 50" + the banjo fittings makes it just about right.
