Default Risers on a Night Train

I got a 2006 Night Train and want to put on some risers, but don't want to get all new cables. Does anyone know how high I can go with the stock cables? Also if anyone has pics of risers on a Night Train I would appreciate it.
Thanks.

Before I got the Wild1 bars I have now, I put 6-1/2" pullback risers with no cable changes. Even with my new bars I didn't have to change cables (Wild1 WO501's I think).

My 04 had 6.5 pullback with factory cables when I got it. They went by the wayside very soon after.

I put 10" risers on my standard, only had to get a new front brake line and re-routed my clutch/throttle cables.

Here is a pic of my 2007 Night Train risers. When I bought it, it already had HD pull back risers on it. I just looked for them on the HD website and it looks like they are no longer offered. I am 5'10" and the bars were still too far away. I tried several seats and finally added 2" riser spacers from a sportster to get bars closer, not pretty but it works perfectly for me and made the riding position so I could ride w/o muscle cramps between my shoulder blades. I was going to chrome them but have not done that yet.

I have a set of those pullback risers and handlebar kit (HD P/N 56029-00) that I took off my 2005 Night Train. If anyone was interested, I will probably put them up for sale this summer. I cannot find them on the HD Store anymore either so they must be discontinued. I did find an listing here though: https://aafes.lvhd.com/products/prod...productID=4480

I looked at that kit when it was still available and saw one in person. It looked good and did pull back just the right amount for me but I wanted to keep the narrow drag bars.
