how high can you go without replacing wires/brake/clutch lines? HD sportster Hugger 2002 with dragbar handlebars with everything electrical through the bars ?
The problem is the metal brake line. I believe on your model it connects to a fixture mounted under the steering neck? I know they make kits that allow you to extend the brake line from that fixture up, when I added taller risers I opted to just replace the whole brake line, cost like $20 for the new line and $30 for a decent brake bleeder.
Electrical lines for the control pods have like 8" of potential rise (that extra length is tucked in the headlight bucket from the factory, simply pull more length out). Clutch cable should be able to go up a bit as well as throttle cables. Like Midpegs said though, unbolt your top clamp and see how far up you can lift the bars. Top clamp bolts take a 1/4" allen.
