Default 4" Riser Clamp and Wiring for Street Bob

I'm considering replacing the stock handlebar clamp with a 4" riser clamp on my '23 Street Bob and keeping the stock mini apes. It looks like the brake and clutch should be fine, but I'm not sure if the wiring for everything else has enough slack and the need for extensions at all.

I know I'll find out when I take things apart, but I'd rather get everything together first and not have to wait on parts with things torn apart apart.

Anyone's experience is greatly appreciated!

I will say there is a surprising amount of slack in the cables and wires for the street bob. I took the stock apes off and went with a set of 14" biltwell tyson XL pullback t-bar setup and didn't need to add any wire extensions and the stock clutch cable and brake line fit fine and aren't maxed out.

I put Biltwell 10" pullback risers and mid bend bars and didn't have to extend a thing. You should be good, but might measure the rise on those stock bars compared to the examples you have here. I don't remember how tall they actually are.
