I am running Elswick Cycles 30 inch wide, 3.5 inch pullback bars on stock risers. I plan on riding it through the summer before deciding on taller risers which will probably be 4". I have seen a guy on here running 6 inch risers and I don't believe he changed out his cables.

 

I just change mine to drag bars bought every thing from J&P CYCLES i went with a 4in straight riser and a 32in drag bar didn't have to change cables at all for the speedo relocation bought two cable clamps it was real easy to do took me about 2hrs if you go any tall then a 4.5 in riser you will have to change cables and top brake line

I have Flanders 27.5" wide, 4" pullback drag bars on my '06 Custom. We have different risers - I think the C's are a 6" rise. FWIW, here's some pics:

 

I just put the bars from a Night Train on my Nightster. They are awesome. A little tight at lock with turn signal buttons, and if you have flipped the mirrors, but for 55 bucks, I couldn't resist. They only come in chrome, so I had to destroy it and painted them black. That Krylon Rust tough is AWESOME!!!!!

Rustoleum primer, 4 coats, wet sanded after it dried, then 6 REALLY light coats of the semi flat Krylon black. Looks as close to professional as you can get. Grand total was under $40.

 

i just put a set on, 32" and it rides like a dream
