Default Handlebars/cables question

I just picked up my 14" apes and i measured out the cables. They came out longer then i thought they would. I figured i would come on here and ask you guys to see if this sounds about right to you.

Clutch = 72"
Throttle = 56"
Brake = 54"

Now does this sound about right to you guys for 14" Apes? I don't want to go and order these cables today and end up ordering the wrong ones. The other question would be does anyone know of some cheaper places to order the cables from. Harley quoted me at damn near 200 bucks. Thanks for any input guys.

I put 12.5 apes on my Fatboy and while I do not know the overall length, they were all +6" over.

The cable sticking out of the housing is all that matters for them to fit, if they are a little long that is ok if you don't care and can route them right.

I got the cables from drag specialties and they are good quality.
