Default Night Train with 16" Apes Cable/Brake Line Length?

Ordered a set of Roland Sands King Apes for my 02 Night Train, anyone have a Train with 16's and know the cable and brake line lengths? I'd rather not put them on, measure and then have to order and wait for them if someone knows what fits right...

I have an 05 Night Train with 16" RSD King Apes and this is the kit I used. It worked out perfectly.

Brake pedal was painted, but already wearing through around the pad. It looks good for now, but will probably get powdercoated this winter.

Try buying the Burly Brand extension cables kit for 16 inch apes. It is really worth it. You get everything you need in terms of lines, cables and wires and they all come with the relevant plugs and fittings so you don't have to do any slicing and soldering.

Thats the kit I'm really leaning towards after pricing stuff seperately
