Default Need advice on cable length

Just ordered 12" apes for my 03 electra glide. Want to make sure I get right clutch cable length. What length was good on anyone who's done 12" bars? I'm good on brake cable, just need help on clutch cable and also throttle cables if you know. Doing braided lines on these also. Thx guys

I may just go 6 over on it all to be safe. 2" more I can hide the extra in fairing.

I installed 12" Khromewerks Fat Apes on my 2000 EG carb bike a couple years back and went with +6" for clutch, front brake and throttle/idle cables from Magnum Shielding. I wrote up the process in this post:

Awesome! Thx pal. Same brand I used for my brake lines when I did the front end. I went ahead and got long enough ones for when I did the bars and coiled the slack up in fairing. They have a good line. Quality is great. I'm going that route. Thanks again
