Default Cable Lengths?

I have a set of 16" x 1 1/2" Buffalo Apes which are 41" wide and have 9 3/4" of pullback I will be installing in a couple of weeks. I have all of the chrome controls, housings, switches and odds and ins ordered from New Castle but I am in need of stainless braided cables and a brake line. Does anyone know or have access to the lengths that I will need? On a side note, my local HD sells everything at MSRP which totaled to $680.00 before tax and New Castle was only $540.00 shipped for all of the chrome pieces.

I have 16 inch wild one apes on my Springer. They are almost the same dimensions are yours and I'm almost sure I went +10 inches for the cables.

Thanks Hibrion. I finally heard back from HCC and got all of them ordered. I was about ready to order them elsewhere.

That's good. Best of luck with the apes. They should look nice with all chrome gear. I had all chrome gear, braided cables and apes on my Dyna, so went with black apes and all black gear on the springer.

I purchased a complete chrome setup with braided cables from HCC for my Dyna and it was actually top shelf.
