Im liking at putting 9.5" rises on my 07 XL1200c. Don't know how long the cables should be for this setup.

Nobody is gonna know the answer to that until you mock it up with your handlebars of choice and measure.
Cables' lengths are usually expressed in "plus" or "minus", as in, "Stock +2." Meaning 2" longer than stock. Use some wire as a template/tool to figure out what you need. Be sure to order the best angle on your banjo fittings for your particular brake line requiremant. The wrong one can look like ***. That's not to say the stock angle isn't correct. It depends on your set-up.
Unless someone chimes in that has your exact arrangement, you'll figure it out. Take pics, ask more questions, etc.
