My guess would be yes....thats because with my 3" fork ext and 1" riser ext I had to go to the extended lines. (Now, Im talking on a spirit so cant be 100%)
If all else fails, shout a message to billski, Im sure he can tell ya.... http://www.billski182.com/
Or wait till another chimes in.... cheers!

Titanium's probably right... I had 8" straight risers on mine (for a minute, switched to 6"s), thats about +2 1/2" over the stock pullbacks and everything JUST reached and the throttle would bind. What are your stockers, 1" or 2" plus bar height? You can always unbolt the bars, hold them up and get an idea. I'd try that while turned to full stop on each side to check for binding. My 2 cents.

Forgot: re-routing the cables behind the upper tree gives you a fair bit of slack too.

I've heard of guys putting mini apes on an ace and re-route cables. I did not measure my risers but I believe they are 2 in. you should be okay with out even rerouting. You may have to adjust front brake line though.
