We would need to know the brand of bars and what style cables you'd like. Chromemite, seal braided, black pearl, black plastic, ect. Does your bike have cruise control?

Welcome aboard! My best guess on the cables is +6 to +8 over stock. I had 12" bars on my 06 EGC, and I went with +4 and they were plenty long. I could have gone on +2. You will also need to extend your brake line as well.
