Default Handlebars on a road king

Anybody know how much play there is in the wiring and cables on an 08 road king? How tall can you go on the bars before you have to get new cables and wiring?

The better question is: what are the right size bars for best comfort for you, and what size cables are needed for those. Dont base comfort decisions on cable size!

I can imagine a situation where the bars arent high enough to be comfortable, *and* they are tight. Not good! Besides, those stock cables are hideous!
