14" Apes ... How long of extended cables do I need?

Looking to put some 14" WO Apes on my son's 06 Road King and am wondering how long of extended control cables I need to purchase. I called one shop and was told I needed +8 over stock. I'm hoping to get a some input here. I hate to go with only one opinion.

I used the burly bagger bars on my 2010 SG, those are 13" and i used a +6 on the clutch and it was just right. As far as the clutch the +8 should be just right for 14"

i used +6 on my SG, if you order everything from hdbikeparts.com they send you what you need for everything. that way its all in one box and no issues. i was very pleased with them.

I went +8 when I put on my 14's. I went a little over in case I wanted to go higher.

+8 on clutch was perfect. It let me route the clutch cable in the stock position.

+8 on the brake for some reason was a bit too much. Below you can see I could have gone +6 easily:
