Default Ape bar question

On a 2010 wide glide, what is the tallest ape bar you can install without having to change throttle cable or brake line or wiring?
thanks guys

you may get away with a 12 but 14 is pushing it, depends on the apes and the spread they have

You could probably fit 12in if you dont use the stock 4in risers, i have 13in flanders on the stock risers and i had to replace my cables.

I ran 12" LA Chopper 1.25 hefty bars with their hefty risers for a bit, but just switched out to their 13" Club bars.......stock cables fit fine for both.
