You might be close to begin with? Otherwise try Hill Country Customs. You can buy everything from them. They are nice folks. I talked to them about swapping out my cables to black and they where very helpuful.

Try the Magnum shielding website. They have good instructions on how to measure. The length on my bars was kinda weird so i just went off of stock length and did a little math and it came out spot on. Hope i helped out a little bit?

Jump... I had a 68" clutch cable for my 14"... Depending on how wide the bars are I would say go either 68" to 70" on the clutch cable and what ever the differance from your stock clutch cable is add the to the trottle cables. This should bring you real close to what you need. Sorry I was in such a rush when I did mine I never measured the trottle cables... lol

Get your tape out and figure it out on your own. Use magnums instructions, so you measure at the right spot. I have 14" midget gimps, I made the mistake of letting my HD order my cables with the configuration of my bars and stock risers. Cables came in and they were 4" longer than I wanted..Check and recheck then order.
They sent my cables back after I snapped and got the ones I needed. HD used the cable lengths off a crossbones on there floor sporting 16" wild 1's which are way wider and taller instead of using the measurements I gave them...Cut out the middle man and talk to magnum direct..
