Default Heritage Springer Cable Length...

Just bought me some Wild 1's WO551 Chubby Beach Bars for my Springer. Million dollar question (which seems to have about a million answers) is what cable lengths do I need to buy? I did the WO550's on my Heritage Softail and needed a +4 brake line and +4 wiring. Measurements are similar on these bars so I'm wondering if I need the same lengths on this bike. I could wait until they show up... but you know... I'm antsy.

I think + 4 is the right size. Also don't forget you will also need a longer front brake hose. It's a good time to upgrade to SS.

Stock size is just short of 30" throttle/idle and just short of 65" clutch.

Ride safe

What do you think? +6 on the brake line?
