Default Cable length

Does anybody know what size brake and clutch cable needed for 14" Paul Yaffe bars? I have heard +2, +4 and +6. I want them in the stock location, I have a 2012 RGC

tape a piece of string to the bars, run it to the clutch/master, and turn the bars back and forth. ensure you have clearance.

then measure the string and BOOM! there's the length you need.

nothing worse than a nice set of bars with some floppy *** cables...kinda like a woman.

LOL that is hilarious!! Two areas of concern though

1- I would like to order the bars and cables all at the same time
2- If I ordered the bars then put them on and measured, then I would have to order the cables wait for them to come in and then install those. Thats a lot of down time and the weather is finally nice.

I was kinda hoping somebody had the same setup and could just tell me what size they used.

Don't forget your clutch cable. A little slack can be dealt with.
