Ok heres what ive got. Throttle and throttle return cables are 41" and 41.5", Brake line is 54" and clutch is 74". All the measurements are of just the hoses not the adapters on the ends of them. This is how most places measure. My bike also has the 2" risers with 16" Nash Pudgy Midget Gimps so total rise is 18". Hope this helps

Get magnum sterling chromite II's. they are the nicest around. For 16" bars +8" should do it. Don't forget poly riser bushings and wiring extensions as well. I can get you evverything you need in quickly and easily. Pm for pricing please.
