Won't really matter, You won't be able to reach the throttle any way!

Only sure way is to mock up the bars and measure how long you need the cables to be. You might be able to get away with using the stock throttle cables.
Magnumshielding.com sells custom cable lengths, that's where I'm getting my black braided brake line from.

Give Hill Country Custom Cycles a call. I got cables from them for my 17" apes.
