Burley Brand cable kit problem

When I looked up what I needed to add 6" or 4", whatever it was, it came out way longer than the throttle cable prompting me to call. After some confusion, I was told it was measured by the cable. Yet when I bought the throttle cable a month earlier, IT was measured by the jacket. Why the difference I have no clue. She didn't either.
One more reason to not buy a kit I thought tho.
On a side note, the only reason i ended up using a return cable is it's the only way I could get all the slack out of the throttle cable. Otherwise I had just a tad too much free play in the throttle that I find annoying as hell.

Its been awhile now and I cant remember the exact lengths. I was just going by what Burley told me the length was supposed to be. Im going to pull my tank off and remove the good pull cable and get a exact measurement. Since they sent me a clutch cable last week, instead of my throttle idle cable and they told me to keep it , I figured I now have a spare. As it turns out, the clutch cable the sent me is 10 inch's longer than the correct one they alresdy sent me.
I dont think they know what they are doing there.

Actually, thats not necessarily true. I ordered mine separate and at different times because I wasn't going to use the return cable. It's a safety feature and not necessary.

I just figured since it was their cable kit to go with the height of their bars on my bike, they knew what size. Now I dont think they have a clue.

just the plastic, rubber, sheath, jacket.................no metal ends
brake lines include metal ends in measurement from what i went thru...
none from burly tho, that might b the problem why i read bad reviews on their kits
