Default Tallest bars on FXD before cable changes?

Wife has an 09 FXD, she wants taller bars, does anyone know what the limit is before you need to buy new cables?

Depends on the bars. Width and pullback can effect cables as well.

I have carlini 9 inch super sweeps with 11.5 inchs of pull back. Clutch cable worked fine, brake line took a little reworking but was barely enough, idle and throttle cable were a little short so I went +2 on them.
