Default Taller Bars

Does anyone know how tall you can raise the bars on an 07 ultra classic without changing the wiring or cables ?

I am not sure about the '07 but I changed mine on my '09 to the 2 up 2 back without changing any wiring or cables.

10" should work. You will have to reroute the clutch cable, but I would change that out so you have plenty of slack.

Did 10" mini apes and no new cables/wires, and no reroute of the clutch cable. No issues to report.

It's not just the height, but the width & pullback have to be considered as well. Bars that are the same height do not always require the same cable or wiring changes.
