Default 10" ape

I just bought a set La Chopper 10" ape. I'm thinking that +6" cable are going to be the right length. I have stock bar know.
I have a 2012 Fatboy.
Any thought on the length.

I have a 2008 Night Train. I put 10 inch handlebars with 3 inch risers on my bike.
I tried 7 inch over throttle cable. Way too long.
I just ordered today, a 3 inch-over clutch line,which should be close. Factory cables were too short for mine. They would not get into position at all.
After seeing much conflicting info on the forum, I decided to take a WAG on the first cable, from Barnett. I feel pretty good about the clutch cable, and will know this weekend if everything is ok, I will order the same over-lenght for the rest of the lines.

I've got +6" on my deluxe with 14" bars and 2" risers. I suspect that would be much to long on your setup.
