Default Another Handlebar Question

What types of bars can be installed on a 08 Ultra without having to change clutch/brake cables and switch cables?
I want about 2" more rise.

yes .

The only 10" which need "sometimes" new clutch cable is the Yaffe MMB but it's not a really 10" one. For the clutch cable i made some tries before finding the best way to route it AND work as oem

Funny G*dd*mn thing, my local dealer told me today once you go over 1" 1/2 to 1"3/4 you have to change clutch and brake cable. Is he just trying to get me to buy extra parts that I don't need.
So the wild 1 WO575 can be installed using all stock wires and cables?
Also where they are chubby will they fit along by the front brake resorvoir?
Need to be sure before ordering.
