I don't know the exact lengths. But I bought the extender kit from Burly when I installed my 14" bars. The clutch cable with my kit was really too long.

I don't have apes on my XL1200C but you might think about relocating those turn signals to the forks. Might clean up the look of those bars. I have a pic in my garage of the Sporty.

with the apes i think too that the turrn signals have to go to the fork. although you ll need wires for the switches i think. a friend of mine put on some 10'' ape hangers to his sportster Custom.. and he did not change anything. wires were pulled from under the gas tank a little forward , the clutch and throttle cable did not needed to be changed ( but he got rid of the stock 4'' risers, and used the classic 1,5''-2 '' risers )
