Default Need help with cable length

I'm ordering 16" apes for my '09 FLHR and am questioning how much over I need to go for the clutch and upper brake line. Any help is appreciated.

Most likely +10, but it depends on the measurements of the bars. Call Jimmy at hdbikeparts.com and he will hook you up. Just needs your measurements. He also gave me great advice about not running the clutch cable back down to the clamp on the side of the forks. Hope this helps.

My son had 16" apes and I am in the process of removing them and installing 12" Yaffe bars. The bike had +12 with the 16s and that looks too long, Yaffee recommended +8 on the 12s which I still think may be a tad too long but theres room to hide any extra. I didnt want to go 6 and come up too tight. The cables will be in tomorrow, well see.
