Default Cable question

hey guys, I have a question for a buddy of mine. I know the best way to do this is to measure, but I was hoping someone could give me an idea of what length over stock the cables need to be for a fat bob going to 16" apes. He will be going down to 2" risers as well.

I've got 10.5 fat apes on 3" risers. I went +4 on my cables and the resulting radius of the cables coming out of the controls puts no stress on the cables and looks right.

Thanks for the link to Burly, but he is wanting to use Magnum Shielding black pearl cables. I can get him the P/Ns for the cables he needs, provided he has the lengths needed.
