order the bars first, then try and mount it the way you want, and see if it fits... not much can be answered if we dont know what kind of bike you have... like my 08 Super Glide... to go up to 9inch straight risers and an MX style drag bar, i need longer cables and such, but if i had a street bob that had longer cables to begin with because of the mini apes, i wouldn't have to. we need more info before we can help. Friendly advice.

Default Front Brake switch
Make sure you put a spacer in the front brake lever before you pull off your front brakes from the handle bars. Easy to break the switch.
