Default Risers?

I have a customer with a sporty 1200, and they want me to install some taller kickback risers. Since I'm not intimately familiar with the Sporty, can someone tell me how much I can move without replacing cables & brake lines? The risers I want to use are: http://www.baronscustom.com/catalog/...775/index.html

Thanks!

Depends on which model it is... the low or the custom? I'm assuming its a low or a model that has 1.5-2" risers. The older ones had enough extra wiring under the tank to reach but it's likley that you may have to extend the wiring. As for the other lines you can porbably re-route the throttle/idle cables to reach but will probably have to get new clutch and brake lines to got taller and more pullback on the risers.
