Is there enough slack in the brake hose,clutch
cable and wiring to put taller bars on an X1?

Yes, I have S3T bars on mine and all of the stock cables still have enough slack. You may need to cut some of the wire ties to let the cables "breathe" but they will reach.

I had to do the same thing with the wire ties when I put XB top clamp risers on my ULY to raise the bars.

Yes and I second the cutting few cable ties thing. All said and done it was a quick change and back on the road in an hour with new grips.
