Default 16" Apes on a Road King Classic? NEED HELP

Ok guys,
i have decided to go with the Wild 1 Chubby's 16" apes for my 2004 Road King Classic. For those of you who have done this, how much longer do i need the cables to be? I'm trying to order everything at once to save on shipping. Wild 1 techs suggested 10" over stock for throttle and idle, and 6-8 inches over stock for clutch. what about the brake line??? Help please!!!!

when I went to 16's on my dyna I went 10 over on the clutch also what you can do is hold the bars upto the bar clamp and measure how much more you need

Don't go with a 10" over stock on the clutch. 6-8 is fine. The reason is that on roadkings the clutch cable is about 4" longer that the rest of the cables. As far as the brake line it is the same as the trottle and idle cables. Also I would change out your rise bolts to a grade 8 bolt. Stock is grade 5 and with bigger bars you could run into trouble later on down the line.
