Default Handlebar/Cable Question??????
I've been thinking about put a set of drag bars of some sort on my bike and I'm curious as to what's the max about of rise and pull-back I can get without having to switch out factory cables.

On my 06 lowrider,I think stock risers are 5.5 inches,i'm not sure what pullback was,but riser was 9.5 inches,on the drag bars I put on.I had bareley enough to use stock cables,but it worked.If you keep stock risers,and just add drag bar,you should be fine.
