Default 16" apes cable length?

For those of you with 16" apes on your bike, how many inches over on the cables and break line did you have to use? Thanks in advance.

Everyone's out riding and I can't help you. You will probably get your answer after the holidays.

go to phatperformanceparts.com clutch throtle and idle 8in over stock then you get the banjo fitting 90 for the front brake caliper and 35 for the brake lever this the the degress in the bends also one of the banjo is 10mm and the other is 12mm ask the sales person, put the bars on the bike use a string go from the lever to the caliper leave a little slack then get a universal brake line a the lenth you need. now all this **** will be worthless unless you are planing to run the wires in the bars get a soldering iron some srinktubes and your good to go take your time with the wireing so you get it right it will be six wires on each side with out the turn signals.
if you don't have the bars you can get them on ebay for about 100 bucks
good luck and email me if you need any help I just finished this project about 4 months ago on my scoot
