16" ape question

I've been searching and searching all the forums trying to answer my questions but I give up, So I'll ask again as I'm sure this has been answered before. I'm putting 16" Wild1 chubby's on my '05 FXST. What length brake, throttle, and clutch cables do I use. I would use the old use string and measure trick but I'm deployed and my bike is not. I want to order it all and have it ready in Feb so I can change it all over this winter. Thanks for any help.

I don't know what length you'll need, but here is a pic of mine for you to drool over...

I put a set of nash gimp hangers on my 2006 fxdbi, i went with +6 on clutch brake and throttle cables. I think 1 inch shorter would have fit great, but the chubbies are a wider bar so i bet +6 will be bang on for you.
