Default 01 1200 custom bars question

Can anyone tell me how tall of a bar I can put on my 01 1200 custom with stock riser and still turn lock to lock with out stretching or extending??
Total rise off triple would work too as I'm decent with simple math lol

Not many people run the mini-apes with the stock custom risers. It kind of looks odd to most people. Most switch out to the short 1.5" or 2" risers, and reroute the wiring/cables or rewire.

You "should be able to do the 4" z bar, but I'm not 100%. I'm almost 100% sure on the cables being fine....Just not sure how much slack you have for the wiring coming out of the stock custom risers to make up for the additional length from the broom stick bar to the Z bar.

yeah any ideas on how to get a little more slack in the wiring comming out of riser?? im like 1" short, the bars i ordered are a little wider so im going to cut them down so they are width of old or slightly narrower, but any other input would be spectacular.
ohh and the bars are only 3.5" rise on top of factory riser..
