I just helped a guy put 14" carlinis on his Fat Bob, we went with 14" over stock, but they could have easily been 12" over stock. How you route them can make a little difference.
Magnum Shielding makes this very easy, just look up your bike and select length based on stock.

1 front brake, it will come as a kit with all 3 cables you need, just read the description carefully, make sure you order it that way.
2 throttle cables, idle and throttle
1 clutch cable
You will need crush washers for the brake lines, as I recall they come with the brake cables.
You will need brake fluid, it will say on the cover what type to use.

That should do you.

You should only need plus 10. I just put 16s ape hangers on my fxdwg and I have plenty of slack left.
