Default Wild 1 502's on Road King -- Cable Length?

I'm wantin' to put a set of Wild 1 502's on my '08 Road King Classic. Can someone with this setup tell me what size cables I need? I don't need the throttle and idle, since I have the internal throttle. So clutch and brake is all I need. I'm wantin' to figure out how much the bar change is gonna cost me in the end. Thanks.

I just placed the order for my new bars on friday. The brake is +6 and the clutch is +8. if you do a search, there are a few people that have the setup and love it.

Has HD released the new longer cables for the 08 bikes? Are you using HD or aftermarket cables?

I would suggest measuring yourself and ordering from a company other than HD. I used a piece of weed whacker line to measure. Ordered from a local custom shop and went with Drag Specialties. About 1/2 the price as the stealer. Don't forget the lowers on the dual disc too. Drag Specialties hasa chrome brake line splitter that replaces your stock one that you won't be able to use anyway. I had to buy all the cables (throttle and idle) and I ended up at about $150 if I remember right. Good luck

I was plannin' on usin' aftermarket cables. HD is awfully proud of their stuff. Many times, the aftermarket stuff is the exact same product, but without the HD label on it.

I was hopin' to avoid havin' to measure. That's why I was askin' on here what people were used. I guess I'm just lazy. But why work harder than you need to? Also, I'd like to order everything at the same time, rather than order the bars and wait for them. Then measure for cables. Then order the cables and wait for them. That's too much waitin' for me.
