I put 13 inch apes on my 900 lt with 4 inch pullback risers and i put 6 inch over stock length braded cables on it .i rerouted the cables a little differant than stock and it worked like a charm.

Rule of thumb for cabling is add 1" of cable for every additional inch of rise and add .5" inch of cable for every additional inch of pullback.
