Default Max riser height increase on a FXDXT

Hey guys. Anybody out there know what the max height of riser you can run with the stock bars and all stock cables/wiring. I did a search first, unless I just missed any info. I know you can run 6.5", but I'd like to go 8" high.

Thanks in advance.

FWIW, I have 7" rise 29" wide Biltwell 'Frisco's on my T with stock risers and cables; all's well with stock cable length.....

Thanks. I've got a couple of windshields depending on how far from home I'm going and what time of year...or if I wanna wear a full face...here's a passenger view of the stock windshield with "wings" added on for added passenger comfort...

Just put new bars and risers on. To answer this question you can go a total of 10" up.

Wire pull, had to run the clutch cable behind the bars like a Cross Bones, bend the top portion of the brake hardline were it enters the master cylinder, and move my speed sensor connector out of the battery area(for wire pull). Not to bad really.
