Default Taller risers on Fat Bob?

Want to put taller risers on the Bob. Love the distance to the bars just wish to raise hands up a bit higher. How much taller can you go before cable and control issues. Don't really want to replace the entire bar set up. Also would rather not play the trial and error game. Any help would be appreciated

If you just want it a bit higher DK Customs has 1", 2" and 3" riser spacer kits or spacerjim.com has a similar product. 2" will work with no changes if you have a 2010 or earlier. The 2011+ supposedly have a slightly shorter clutch cable so you can only go 1" without replacing it. I have the DK customs 2" with a longer clutch cable on my 2012.

I got 8" risers on mine off ebay and the clutch is a little tight when I turn fully to the right like when moving it around the driveway, I ran the clutch cable up through the inside of the frame to get another inch or so also.
