Handlebar length

Hi guys, I'm in the early stages of restoring a 1965 CB77, it is a US import with high-ish, scrambler type bars, its in a gazillon bits just now but I wish to rebuild it with straight bars, I had a 'rummidge' in my jun..........er, spares & found what I think will be ideal, but they are almost straight but quite long.
So, dear friends, can some of you who already have a straight-bar bike, give me the overall length so I can cut mine down, I realise that I will also have to drill/mill wiring holes on the underside.

Thanks.

24-1/2" end to end with 2-1/2" pullback...this is a repro from Olypen/retrobikes...they're unfortunately going out of business and no longer have them in stock...you'll need shorter front brake and clutch cables, too.

That's great, thank you.

I can cut mine down now, & I already have new, shorter brake & clutch cables.
