Default Street Glide Apes, need help with cable size (16")

I am going to buy 16" Cyclesmith Apes for my Street Glide soon. I am looking for some help on what cable (clutch and brake) lines I need. Don't care to hear about the places that sell kits, I am getting Magnum black pearl cables and most places selling kits do not have these.

Thanks guys, I have searched for a few hours with no luck.

I did 13" on my 09 SG and the brake upper was 26" and lowers will be the same as stock (12" atleast for non ABS). My upper was about 2" longer than it needed to be. Yours should be 3" or so longer. As far as my clutch...I cant remember the size of the top of my head, but it was about +6 over stock, so you would need +9 I would say

Thanks Bennie, That's about what I thought. I figured I could go 27" on the upper and 72" (+10) on the clutch.

Just needed to hear a little input to set my mind at ease.

The one good thing is if you go an inch or two too long you can zip tie them in the fairing. Good luck.

Let me know if you need other pointers, as I just did mine a few days ago and its still fresh in my head. Good luck....lots of patience is needed. Also now is the time to think about other things needing done in the fairing, like I installed my garage door opener and hidden antenna in there.
