Default Ape hanger cable lengths for 17's??

So I got a crazy deal on a set of 17's and they can be internally wired. This is part of my planned winter project (gotta do something this winter when I can't ride) So I'm curious to those of you who have done the internal wires and such what is the recommend lengths?

Bike 2000 ultra w/cruise it that helps.

Thanks

well your clutch cable would be +15 about but that's run outside. best thing to do is get a cloth measuring tape at a fabric store or something and measure your bars length.then run it down ur bike to the clutch housing the way you plan to run it

I ran Carlini 16"s which are almost 17"s and I went +8" on all cables and brake line and +12" on the electrical extensions.
