How many inches of riser can you add to the stock 07D7 before you need to extend your cables?

not much more than stock, ihave a stock riser with pro tapor countour bars and it BARELY fits
I put the Polaris 5.25 riser on my 07D7 that is now stock on some RMK's. There isn't enough slack to go over 6" without extending your cables. A little advice if you want it; Your current cables are ran through the factory riser. If you don't want to disconnect all your cables and brake line, and don't plan on re-using your riser, just cut the cross member out and remove. Install the new riser with the cables routed in front...fast, easy, and plenty of free play.

Brake Line Disconnect
Do you have to do anything special when you disconnect/reconnect the brake line, or for that matter any of the lines that run through the stock riser?

5.25 works

How tight are the cables at 6"? Still a little wiggle room or should we be sticking to the 5.25?

I put the 6.5 inch from powermadd on my 08 700 rmk. (http://www.startinglineproducts.com/catalog.cfm?pageID=detail&catalogID=3&catID=25&productID=1127)
If I remember correctly you only have to unhook electrical. Their are a couple with the same connectors so be sure to mark before disconnecting.

Any info on this?
Once you disconnect the brake line you will need to bleed the system. This is best done with a Mighty Vac (available at most auto parts stores or Sears) but not entirely necessary. Really speeds up the process though. What happens is air will enter the system and cause loss of braking performance. You will also loose all feel at the lever as it will become very spongy.

I have mountain machines 6" riser on my 07 d7, works great, just had to cut a couple tie wraps, no extensions needed on mine.

I have the Rox Speed FX adjustable riser. No cutting, no bleeding, no hassles.
Adjustable and stronger.

Also, they have a style that allows you to switch to fat bars later if you like.

Just alittle advice if you want to go with a riser higher then your stock cables can handle - get a new longer one piece throttle cable instead of the cable extensions - they don't work that well (they seem stiffer).
