I went with the 9.5 risers and the RC Mini fatbars. I used a stock Street Bob clutch cable and +6 brake lines. Probably could have gotten away with +4.

I am about to buy the upper brake line and clutch cable for a 10" riser with 2.5" rise moto bars (similar to your set up). Would you recommend just getting the +4 for the upper brake line then? I'm going to buy the set up from Magnum, I already bought the lower ABS unit.

As far as the clutch goes, I would use a stock FXDB cable but I want it to match with Magnum Pearl Black. Do you think +4 would work for that too, is the street bob size the perfect size, cause them I'll just match that length? I really like how clean and perfect size the stock FXDLS cables/lines look and I want to get it as close to that as possible.

Thanks a bunch!

Socal_Nightster,

Do you have any more pictures of that set up? I'm looking to get the same. Also how tall are you? I'm 5'7" and wondering it that will be too high or not. I'm looking for about 11-12" total rise. I think the RC Minis have a 3" rise?

Just a shot from the seat at the riser and bars would be great. Thanks for the reply, that information is helpful. I'll likely drop down to the 7" risers then.
