Cable lenths...need help quick

I've got an '07 Street Bob. I'm replacing the 12" apes with 14", is there a standard multiplier to figure out the lenth of clutch & throttle? I'm going 2" over but 2" doesn't seem to be enough. I'd like to get this done ASAP so help will appreciated!

Aren't your 12" apes actually 10" ? 4" over should work fine.

I had 14's on my 07 Street Bob...used +6 and they were perfect.

you can get the extra few inches by unclipping your clutch cable at the lower down tube, then bend your throttle cable feeds a bit down... other than that re bend your brake line... and you are golden!
hell i went up to a 16.5 rise on stock cables... all about re routing wires and making it work!
