Default Cables 16" Wild 1's

Decided on 16" Wild 1's, going to be ordering from www.hillcountrycustomcycles.com/ as they have them for $191 which is the lowest I could find them.

Question is, I have a 2006 Softail FLSTN, and want to know what size cables I need to order and what cables exactly I need to order. I plan on ordering Magnum Chromelites.

I appreciate the help as always!

EDIT: Plan on using 1.5" Risers

Personally I'd measure. I know Hill Country claims they can rope up any bike but I've seen a couple of guys that ordered from them where the cables are a bit long. Also, I've heard the customer service sucks. If you don't care about either of those two items, Hill Country is probably your best bet...

That's just two pennies from some old pissed off bastard.

No I don't. What I did when I install mine I just got a piece of rope and route it where I wanted them and messure each one, went to the dealer and order them like that, and that work for me.

Yes. But the way Fes is telling you to do it is the proper way. But many just use the + way. Remember better to be a bit longer than shorter.
