I did it.&nbsp\\; You have to put an "S" bend in the brake line, but it will work

I did four inch risers with the stock mini apes, so I would have to say no cables or wiring needed. I changed nothing, I did run the clutch cable in front of the bars instead of behind, it looked better and gave me more clearance when turning bars all the way to the left. I also bent the brake line a little beneath the tripple tree to give me a couple inches, the throttle and idle cables needed to be bent (Carefully!!!) under the grip to point more straight down.
&nbsp\\;
If i did four inch risers with the mini apes, you should be fine......
