Default cable inquiry

I'm changing the drag bars on my '02 sportster xl1200c to a more comfortable set. Was wondering if anyone knew what the stock Clutch, Throttle and brake cable lengths are for this with a 21" front end because I want to put about a 9" increase in length to these.

Are you doin apes or risers? If apes then what size apes are you going up to? Not sure I've seen a 9" ape hanger setup. Burly and LA Chopper have kits out for the size ape hangers you're installing. I only mention these 2 because they seem to be the top brands I've come across. I went with LA for my 20's

that's the thing, I'm not buying apes for it, I just acquired some bars off of a street glide that I think will look pretty good (so 6" risers). I'm not the buy thousands of dollars worth of parts type of guy. I'm doing this **** old school. I'm thinking I can buy a cable kit for 12" apes and it should work.

Might be able to run stock actually if there is some slack. The 12" cable kit may have excess cable hanging around. Mock it up and look at your current cable routing.
