Default Handlebar upgrade

I am getting ready to swap out my stock bars on my 2007 Electra Glide Standard to a set of 12" Paul Yaffe monkey bars. Can anyone tell me what size cables and control wiring I will need to go with? I am seeing plus 4 or plus 5 is what i need to go with. before ordering I wanted to see if i could get some input from anyone that has already done this. Also any suggestions where the better places to order from without spending an arm and a leg?
thanks

Mount the new bars and adjust them to where you like them see how much longer the cables need to be and order them. This is the best method. Take it from someone who had to reorder cables that were too short and upped the project cost. Also, an inch too long is better than an inch too short.
