Magnum Black Pearl

#442510 Idle Cable, 90 deg, 40-1/2" length, smooth end, 4-3/4" travel

Upper ABS brake line
HD Diamond Black 34" Part #41800118A

PS for the brake line you will need a 7/16 straight 180 deg banjo fitting like this.

I went on the recommendation from another forum member (beasleyiv) on the lengths.
Yes it came out to be +10 for my bike. The Lo's bars are higher and wider then your Slim. But when it comes down to it all should be the same once you go 14" bars unless you go taller with risers. Basically from the risers down the the cables and brake line route the same way.

I probably could have gone +8 but I am happy with a bit extra cable. I would do it again.
