LOL, thats funny your lucky Im not short tempered!! haha. I did the whole sitting on the bike holding a broomstick and measured. I mocked them up on the bike and they are perfect. My hands are just a bit above my shoulders, very comfortable. So now I have to figure out if I can send the cables back or buy another set and sell the+8's. What a pain.

+8's will be to long. Your clutch cable will be rubbing the back of your front fender. Your gonna have to do a fix for that. The throttle cables will be rubbing the backside of your tin's also and scratching it up. My +6's on 12.5's still touch one in a while.
You asked me and I said mine were +6's. My wild one 12.5 sit on a 1 inch riser also.

Take a look at this thread. I was having a conversation with someone about cable lengths on 12.5" bars. Just cant seem to remember who it was.

Send em back and get +6 unless you want to use the slack as a get back.

Yeah I know, it's just one of those last minute brain farts, only this one is a costly one. I can't do anything about the cables till Monday so I'm not gonna stress over it. It just means that I have to wait a bit longer to change out my bars. I bought the bars at my local stealership at a clearance sale they had going on and I got them at a really go price. Imagin that, getting something from an stealership at a good price. Will see how this whole thing pans out, good thing I didn't remove anything yet so its still rideable.

I went with Magnum sterling chromite ll's, I just looked on their web site and they want a 25% restacking fee on returns, ouch! So that means Im gonna have a set of +8 cables up for sale. Anyone interested hit me up.
