The MoCo produces a document called HD Handlebar Fitment Guide. It has all the cables they do for their bars.

You can also measure up and see what length cables you need and perhaps go to Barnett and see if they have what you need.

They have charts based on model and handle bar height that tell you exactly what you'll need.
I use the black pearl.
Their no lube clutch cables are really nice.
