Default Nightster Risers?

I have an '07 Nightster. I was wanting to put taller risers on the stock handlebars. My question is, What are the tallest risers I can use on it and still keep the stock cables?

I put 6 inch risers and a drag bar on my 07 883R which I do believe has pretty much the same configuration as the nightster and the iron, no?

My XL50 has the HD 4" curved risres and stock cables on it and all is good. The risers were on the bike when I got it and it has stock bars, i still have the risers, but went to drag bars and still have the stock cables.

I'm running 6.5" pullback risers with drag bars and I didn't have to splice in extensions to my handlebar wiring harness. You may have to use an aftermarket longer brake line. As to the wiring, yes it is long enough to reach the control boxes but it would look better if I had spliced in extra wiring and then ziptied it to the handlebars.
