Risers for the FB

How high can I go on risers without having to replace the lines. I know they have some slack, just not sure what the cutoff is. I don't want to go ape hanger height, just bring it up a bit more to chest level. I'm 6'3" so my arms are a little down and I would like things more comftorable....

You can 6" without needing longer cables.

I put these on mine http://www.lachoppers.com/catalog/di...037/index.html

but looking back would have gone with these for added stability between the risers and I would assume less twist of the bars when parking and getting back on http://www.lachoppers.com/catalog/di...192/index.html

I have 6" LA choppers with 1" pullback. on installation I have a set of 2" riser spacers so my total was 8" The only thing that was real tight, but still operational mind you, was the front brake line. Rideable, but a little tight. So up to 7" no problem at all.
