So a 10-11" bar with 2" risers for a total of 12" - 13" will definetely be no with OEM cables?

Is it both clutch and brake cables that needs to be changed?

Brake line for sure, probably clutch and throttle too. However, I have tons of wiring left, can't imagine extending the wiring unless going 16+ maybe more

I am running 10" T-bars and have run apes in the past. Really prefer the T-bars having ridden with them.

As far as cables and such, I think going with 12 or 14" bars, you would want to go +2" on all your cables. Maybe have to go +4" on the 14" but some guys running those height bars will probably chime in.

Good luck and post some pics when you get them installed.
