Ok, all joking aside, I just finished putting 16"s on my RKC and I had to extend the wiring by 12" and the cables and front brake line by 8". I bought an easy to install wiring kit through Namz and my cables and brake lines through Magnum. Good luck with the project and welcome!!

08 SG here. Went with Wild1 12.5's went +6 on clutch and brake. Wires were long enough by rerouting the fairing side of the harness down and under the radio. Using +4 on 11's would depend on how far away from the fairing you wind up setting the bars. Close to the fairing should work but if you roll them back much it could get tight on the clutch.

Oh, goddamn, that was funny.

OP - I installed 10" Yaffe monkey bars on my '08 FLHX. I had ordered the wire extensions, but they were not necessary. I order the chromite clutch cable, and after removing the stock cable, they were the exact same length. And it fit and worked just fine.
