I used +8's on mine its fine by me,it keeps the cables closer to the bars with no restrictions and looks cleaner ...i have 16 inch chubbies on 1 inch risers,I reckon may be an inch or 2 on the front brake mastercylinder would have been spot on the money...loving my 16 inch bars...stay safe

I have +12 on my bike, but it was with 4" risers and 14" Wild 1 Chubbies.

I took out that setup and am installing 16" black powder coated chubbies and 2" risers. Will posts pics soon.

With the +12 cables, it may be a bit long, but not noticable. Have plenty of room to swing bars without binding up cables.
