Default 2000 xl1200s ape hangers

hey all... ive got a bit of a dilemma... I just purchased a set of 20" ape hangers for my sporty and im having a bit of trouble finding cables long enough for them... like i said the 20" bars plus 6" risers.... when i measured it out i get 72" for the clutch cable 56" for the brake line and 52" for the throttle and idle cables.... anyone have any experience or ideas with this?

You will probably have to have custom cables made. Make sure you post pics, I want to see a 26" rise lol

I thought that this is probably going to look totally stupid! But I actually like the result! Looks nice! Get some better pictures up.
But they're NOT "about even with your shoulders"
