For anybody that is thinking about changing the handlebars and is wondering about stock cable length and how tall you can go... I was directed to a video from Factory 47 about how to reroute the cables to get more slack, even enough to get 16 inch apes with stock hydraulic lines!. The video is of a Road Glide, not a Road King, but it'll be the same thing.

That's not my bike, but I also run a bare bones solo and it's surprisingly comfortable even for long distance rides. I like it more than my mustang, but mostly because that one sits you up and forward more than the le pera

Got the new bars installed on the RKS last night. 13" rise, 9.5" pullback, 41" width, 1.5" diameter. Had to change the clamp because the bars are 1.5" at the clamp area, and extended all the wires, but stock cables worked after I pulled them out of the clip on the neck.
