Default Throttle and Idle cable length.

So I had my idle cable break yesterday. Cable was rusted right though. Now I need to replace it and I figure if it was that bad the throttle cable can't be any better.

I have a 99 883 hugger. It looks like the handlebar is stock but the original owner put lower risers on it. The parts guy told me there are two lengths of throttle/idle cable for this year, one for standard bars and one for drag bars. He looked at the pictures of my bike and believed that my bars are the stock drag bars and the cables the stock drag bar length cables.

Now I am going to Pheonix Friday morning to go riding with my brother who just got his bike two weeks ago. Haven't seen him in over a year probably and am really looking forward to this trip. Problem is that the HD dealer wants $22/cable and $15 for overnight shipping to get them here in time for me to put them on my bike. A guy in Texas has a pair for $25 total and $20 for overnight but he has no clue if they are the "dragbar" sized cables or not. He just has a length. Not having my bike here, I have no idea what length the cables I have are. Just the part number the HD parts guy gave me (and he had no clue what the length on those were either).

Anybody know what length these cables I have are?

HD Part numbers:
56400-96 Throttle cable
56401-96 Idle cable

I think there is but I don't know for sure. I always see them listed as either XX-99 or 93-03.

Thank you though for the offer...
