I just put 13" on my EGC and used +6 on everything.I would say no shorter than +9.My brake and throttle were fine but my clutch was a little tite,but still worked fine.

Your best bet is to install the bars and measure.&nbsp\\; I used some of the edger line from my weed eater.&nbsp\\; It worked good because it holds a curved line like your cables will. I have 16's and Harley does not have long enough cables.&nbsp\\; They will order but you can save money going to a local shop.&nbsp\\; I went with Drag Specialties.&nbsp\\; Saved about 40% over Harley for the same cables.&nbsp\\; Good luck

I have a 2006 RKC and I just installed wild one chubby WO509 bars. I did 10+ on the idle,throttle, brake&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;and clutch cable. I used magnum braided cables. The brake line will be expensive. You will also need extensions for the wiring. Total cost was $530. I tried to add pic but I'm not too sure how to.....
