Default 2011 Fatboy Lo Max Handlebars on Stock Cables

Recent bought my first Harley after years of Honda’s most recently a VTX1800 I will say there isn’t Anything like riding a Harley although I miss the 1800 Grunt! The 96 twin cam is torque but hits the rev limiter where the Honda was just getting going!!

This isn’t going to be a long term bike as I plan on getting a Road Glide in the next couple of years and I’m just trying to make this bike more comfortable and visually appealing.

I’m trying to figure out the maximum height handles bars or risers I can Install without changing cables and hoses, bike does have ABS.
I don’t want to do anything permanent as the next guy or gal may not have the same size or style I do!

I am not sure on the max height but I always recommend wild 1 chubbys for the handlebars, plus if you all them im sure they will know exactly how high you can go. American made and they've been around forever.
