Default clutch cable

Hi I hope somebody can help me with this question, I have a 2005 efi flstci heratige . I changed my handlebars to fatboy bars and the clutch cable is too long. The stock bars have about an 11 inch rise and my new bars only have a 4 inch rise. The stock clutch cable is 63 3/4 inch housing and I need about a 58 or 59 inch cable. I can't find one. Does anyone know where I could find one with the right ends on it for my bike?

Can't you 're-route' the cable through the triple trees to take up the slack ?
