Chubby WO508 cable lengths?
I have Chubby 508's on my RK with stock cables. I'm finally going to change the throttle cables, brake and clutch cable to stainless. I did some reading and it looks like +4" for throttle and brake but I'm not sure about the clutch. My stock clutch cable gets pretty tight when I turn it full lock, maybe +2"? What cable lengths did you use for these bars? Where did you buy your cables?

I bought mine at http://hdbikeparts.com because I have ABS and when I bought mine there weren't many options. Not saying I didn't get a good deal but you still might want to shop around a bit.

I went with the stock length clutch cable and +2" on the throttle cables and brake lines. I think they were all a little tight, and if I could do it over again, would have gone with +2" clutch cable and +4" on the throttle cables and brake lines.

Thanks for the comments. Looks like +4 on the throttle and brake and +2 on the clutch. Now I just need to find a good place to buy them. I emailed hdbikeparts but now response yet.
