Most likely going to depend on the style of bars you are looking at. I recommend calling the people at wild 1 chubbys. I always use their bars. Good luck and Safe Travels!

And...don't let "stock cable length" be your height decision factor. If you want to do it correctly, base height on "rider position/comfort."

You can typically go to 12" with no modifications to the hoses. You can go to 14" if you change the connectors from the 90° ones to 45° ones.
