Obviously I didn't know where this was all headed.

It will change depending on how you mount and route it.

Cable is cheap, just get about 10 feet from a bike shop and you should have plenty.

our local bike shop sold me a 6 foot cable and sheath. definitely pick up the sheath. both the cable and sheath totaled $25. i picked up another two sets like that for my CJ. one for the hand throttle, one for the foot fed throttle.
