Default Cable and line length !!!!!!!!

I put some burly 12" apes on my 03 Lowrider. Now I measured my brake line and came up with 50". Then I measured my clutch cable and came up with 84". They do not even make a 84" clutch cable, 74" is the longest they make. What am I doing wrong. Does anybody know what the stock length of a 03 Lowrider clutch cable is. All my books do not have my stock length. Its driving me nuts. Also is the measurements the jacket or the line? Any help would be great. The bars look awesome.

Stock clutch cable should be in the 64" neighborhood. Check here for how they're measured http://www.harley-davidson.com/pna/p...ClutchDyna.jsp

So i'm doing something wrong 84" is way to much. A WG with 10" ape is only 68". Hmmm?

Not sure if this helps or not but When I put 12" bars on my superglide 06 I used the stock cables and brake line off of a stock street bob. If you need or want aftermarket you could find out the lekght that way and then order the same

a quick and crude measurement of my cable puts it around 67 or 68 with
12 inch bars and one inch risers

my brake line is around 45 or 46
