Default Raising handlebars 2" ??

I have a 2010 Fatboy lo. I'd like to raise the handlebars a couple inches. Does anyone know how much I can raise them without changing cables etc??

All you can do is try it. Works on some models and not on others.

You will be fine. I put 6" risers on my lo with the stock bars and I just had enough.

You raised them 6" with all the original wires and cables ?
What did you buy for risers? What year is your bike?

With 6" risers, if you have ABS you will need a longer upper brake line.
