Default Throttle cable length

I recently got a 14 inch ape for my 2009 XL1200C. I’m still using the stock 4 inch riser btw. I was wondering the correct length for both the throttle and idle cables?

I know that Barnett and Magnum have cable kits, I just dunno what kit to order. Thanks in advance guys.

I thought about that, thing Is I’m totally inexperienced and would have no Idea if I need to account for extra length or something. Also I live in Egypt, so if I order the wrong cable length it’s gonna be a while before I can ride again lol
