Higher Bars for My Street Bob

I want to put some slightly higher bars to replace the 'stock' bars on my '07 Street Bob. I am looking for suggestions as to what options I could consider?

If you only want to go a little you could go with taller riser's.If you go a lot taller you will need longer cables$$$$ + Wires=Work!

I believe the stock length 'mini-apes' are 10.5 inches ... you could probably go up to 12" without changing the cables, but if you went to 14 or 16 would require new cables, brake lines, etc.

If you use the SEARCH function and put in the keywords CABLE and LONG you will get a month's worth of reading on the subject from many forum members.
