The bars come with a new riser. I changed out all my cables, but I do believe you need a longer clutch and brake line. I was getting a chrome front end done at the same time, so I went all out with new everything.
They're great bars, very natural wrist position, more height and a fair amount of pullback. I feel as though I can control the bike better at all speeds, and no longer reach forward. I'm 6'2" if that helps any.

Lots of RK owners swear by apes, 12" and higher for comfort and looks- I' m one of them. The Wild 1s have an awesome pullback, a very wide and solid width and 12.5" chubbies put my wrists about at armpit level; I'm 5'7" with 33" sleeve. I have gone:1) RK High 2) 12.5" Chubbies and now switching to 3) 14" chubbies...they are just that comfortable....see the RK with Apehangers thread:
