Default ape installs on a rocker Questions

I have a buddy that will turn me onto a set of blacked out zbars, only 10" but they look pretty good. What size of risers can I get away with without getting extended cables? if i cant get away without extending cables, what would you all recommend for risers on only 10" apes, and how much over oem extended cables would I need?
I have been searching the threads and found many different tastes, but no answers to these questions.

1.5" risers. I don't know if they would work for sure or not with stock cables but you can usually use stock cables and wiring with 10" apes.

I pulled the trigger on Carlini 14" Powder Black Evil Apes, Now I need to find some black 1" to 1 1/2" risers. Any suggestions on some of the less expensive choices for a Rocker? I would love to avoid paying another $200 or more for risers if i can find decent ones at a better price.

My 13.5 inch tall 1.5 inch diameter BR bars just barely didn't fit the stock length cables.
I have the 1.5 inch Carlini "Boob risers" $175 with hidden set screws.
My bars don't move.

Be sure to think about replacing the stock rubber bushings with poly ones.
