I need a little help determining cable lengths for my 2001 Sportster. I bought the bike with aftermarket cables approx 40in length. I have 6in pullback risers, with the stock Hugger type bars. I will be installing 32in pullback drag bars. Maybe 42-43in cables with 90 degree elbows? Appreciate some helpful comments.
