What size cables needed for 16" apes?

I checked the Harley accessory book and came up with this:
Stock Size
Clutch 31.5" Total Length 68.69"
Throttle/Idle 32.5"
I just recently added 14" apes and was able to leave the stock cables on with no binding. However, I recently moved the apes forward for a more aggressive look and now the idle and throttle cables were to short. Not a lot but enough to where the throttle wouldn't close when I turned the wheel full left.
A local indie shop recommended that I go +6" on my lines to prevent this from ever happening. Especially since I might go to 16" gimp hangers now. Today, I just ordered steel braided throttle/idle and clutch cables that were both +6". Hope that helps
