Try Magnum cables, about $50 each. Look nice, but build your own brake lines are confusing on the main page,make sure its the same color as clutch/throttle. IIf you have any problems and send a e-mail they call you directly. I got +8 on 14's and still can put a 2" rise on it.

But, with Carlini's you have to compensate for the added height of their bars. Carlini 14"'s are like 16"'s from other brands which is why I recommended +8".
