Default RE: Braided Cables

Guys a little bit of help needed. I just had Barnett platinum cables installed on my 05 Road Glide. The cruise doesn't work now. My receipt says that I got the right cable forthe cruise control. I did do the cruise control backlash adjustment several times...I do have to increase rpms a touch to get the green light to go out the final time for the adjustment. When I try to operate the cruise control, the light comes on red, turns green when the speed is set, but makes now attempt to hold the bike'sspeed. Until I cangetit back where I had thecable installed, where should I start looking? Thanks in advance.
Mike

I found some +6" on the Throttle and Idle, Is there enough room to hide/stash the extra length?

Rev00, there is room in the fairing for extra length. +2 is all you need, some go +4. The only concerns with the added length would be abrasion of the cable/s in the fairing, over time this could do some damage. fastening the added length onto the fairing support ect. could also limit cable movement and prevent proper cableoperation.

Thanks the links.
Johnny at HDBikeParts said he can get them. He recommended +4's on all of them.
