Default Risers on stock cables, how high?

Wantin to get some risers to put my stock bars up as much as possible. How high can I go and still keep my stock cables and bars straight up?

I would just undo the riser clamp and lift the bars to the height i want them and job done get a tape out and see how high you have gone.
remember cable lengths etc need a little slack when turning.

I added 2" to my fat bob. I had to reroute the cables and could have went another inch at most. 2" would be the most I would attempt.

Both are right on turning and length period. Those cables are kinda short.
