On my 03 the Brake line is the problem,,, I could only go up about 2", and that is with some "flexing" of the line.. You can remove your bars cap, and see what the cables will allow by raising the bars..

well i ordered a different brake line already but the handle bars i have are almost 4" too tall which doesnt make sense to me because they are 14" z bars, and the stock mini apes i have from bottom bend to top bend measure at 12"
