RE: handlebars on a streetbob
I believe if you look at your cables, with the exception of the brake line which can be bent a little, you have roughly at least 1" up to 2" of slack, so depending on how much higher you want to go, you might not need to replace them inch of cable for inch of rise. But to be safe, certainly your assumption should work - only variable might be if you're thinking of more pull back distance in the bars. I only need to go up another inch or two vertical and am planning on just getting some new risers of no more than 4" (stock are 2") so I don't have the long install process and hassle/expense of changing over controls, lines, etc. And if that doesn't give me enough height (but I think it will), then I'll be looking at new bars. But that's just me!
And if you really don't want to have to worry about it - here's a company on eBay that figures it all out for you. You just tell them what you have and what you want and they do the rest and put together a whole kit for you - bars, cables, etc. Typical listing:

You should be able to get narrow glide 12's on w/o changing anything....i was able to get 13's on, only thing i had to do was bend the metal part of the brake line a bit!

There is also someone who sells apes on ebay complete with switch housings and wiring but not the throttle cables and brake line for about the same price. I'll see if I can find it. It looks like the same place...
