When I installed 13" Cyclesmith on my 05 EGC, I used +6 on cables and brake line. I got mine from Drag Spacialty. Can't remmember price though.

Now on my 2010 EGC, I have HCC bars(they claim 14", but measure 16") the brake line measures 6'.( I also have ABS ) From master cyclinder to ABS block. Also from DS.

I am in the process of installing 13 apes. I went with BR Customs and they were very helpful and sent me the right size.

if you call 716-679-1966 ask for Bill and he will fix you up, he was a great help when I ordered mine

BTW ... FYI .... with ABS, you'll need to remove the tank as the brake line goes from the HBar to the ABS unit and then to the front wheel.

I went +6 on my 07 Streetglide with Magnum Shielding cables and brake line. Nice stuff.
