Bars can you use without changing cables

I'm going to be changing my bars soon and I'd like to know and it might be handy for allot of other people to know what bars will bolt straight up without changing anything but the bars. I'll start, my current bars, at least the ones in my sig pic are Flanders H5s pre dimpled for Harley they will bolt straight up. I did bend the metal part of the brake line over to the bar but that was it.

There are some guys here who have gone to a 4 1/2 rise with no problems.

I went from stock bars to the street slammers with all stock length cables. I also went with a one piece front brake line. I'm pretty sure you can get away with going as high as 8"s of rise and the bars being around 32"s wide as long as you don't go crazy with pullback, maybe around 3"s or so.

I went from stock to 6" strait risers and drag bars (part #'s from the night train) With no changes.

Its a little tight when turning full right.
