My Z's are only a 4" rise. Pretty sure you can go up to 8" with all the stock cables.

For my Chubby ones, you had to wire internal and the throttle cables, brake, etc, etc had to be changed. For where I mounted the signal lights, I had to buy a kit and make it work but no extensions.
What is he charging for parts and labor? What cables and hoses is he using? Can you use a set of cheaper stuff or do you want fancy braiding? What is the labor rate? IF it is 5 hrs @ $100 an hour, it isn't out of line. Just throwing a $980 figure isn't helpful.
Internal wiring is a little more difficult and thus takes more time as opposed to external like the bike came with. All hard to say with just a $980 figure thrown out. Can't say what is going in. IS he saying you MUST change the cables, etc or is he saying that "if it comes to that, we will change it and $980 is going to be your max."? When I did mine, they told me exactly what it needed IF I used HD bars since there were some specs. You wander off the reservation and they would quote the max it can get. I would. I wouldn't say $500 and then call you back and say "Oh, BTW, you also need to do this, that and the other to it or it won't work.".

980$ including labor and let me explain what he told me :
All parts are to be changed OEM HD
labor is 240$
and 740$ for the parts (excluding the handle bars)
