Did these risers do ok with stock lines/cables?

Yes, they work fine but there is no extra length. Be sure to loosen everything including the throttle assembly. Then cut all zip ties. Zip tie everything back after you've tightened it all back up. Whoever designed these Rox risers is really clever.
BTW, I also have a set on my Suzuki TU250X. The reason they are so good is because they are universal and fit practically everything, as long as you get the right size for your handlebars. The CB1100 and the Suzuki TU250X are both 7/8".

Cool! I was just mainly concerned with brake line. I have 1" now & it's pretty tight.

My old CB750 caused the same issue, and the seat was much softer on that than the new CB1100. I'm thinking that the 919 would have the same problem, except for the nice forward lean. Any ideas to counteract the numbness? Am I the only one whose manhood feels like its iced down after a ride?
Sir ,
Please change your seat to a more cushiony one . I think That will also change your posture, will provide you more comfort and it will absorb some of the vibrations from the bike that is causing the problem .....
Cheers!!!!!!!!

I watched my friend install them on his CB and it works great but as I said, there is no extra length left over.

RE: A problem for men...
I have tried the gel pads and the Airhawk pad. They just don't do it for me even though I sold a lot of them when I was in Biss.
and people liked them. Even though my friends call me velcro butt they just move around to much for me.

This may not address the OP's specific problem, but wearing bicycling shorts underneath your riding pants makes a huge difference in comfort. Briefs will tend to bunch up and bind when you are moving around in the saddle.

Airhawk R ordered. If nothing else, I can use it on any bike that I might need it on, 1100 or otherwise. I'll report back.

I second this.. I've found that it's not the hardness of the seat (if it were then no one could be spending entire days riding a road bicycle with an unpadded seat especially with a hard seat nose sticking right where you'd think that it'd be hurting the most, but people do), it's 'where the stuff is' (and that any critical nerves aren't getting pressured).
I've done weeks of consecutive 8-14 hour days on a motorcycle, both feet forward cruisers and lean a little forward sport tour sitting positions without any problems. Wore spandex/nylon bicycle shorts on these trips. Did they actually prevent any numbness or pain problems ? Don't know, but I never experienced a problem doing it this way.
