throttle cable length

so my throttle cable became frayed inside the bowden box causing a stuck open throttle in traffic.



I have it out now (way more fiddly than it should have been IMO) and am just fixing to buy a new cable......

Here's the rub: BMW lists two lengths - one for high bars and one for low bars. 600mm and 570 mm respectively.

My bike came with low bars and the frayed cable is the shorter length, but I've installed bar risers so I think I should order the longer cable for the high bar.

What do you guys think?
