Take your current cables to the dealer and ask if they can find you a set X amount shorter, ie the length cable you need

You can look up the harley cables on their main web page. Just go with the + amounts and it'll show you the part numbers. I would rather strongly suggest sticking with oem.

And personally, I'd avoid the hell out of MotionPro cables, if you're contemplating them.
