Know how you feel, I put on 3 inch risers and the fat mini-apes and what a difference it makes.

Default length changes?

2goldens. Did you have to change or lengthen brake line, throttle cable, or any wiring lengths?

I put 4 1/2" risers on my 02 Fatboy and still had plenty of cable left for clutch and brake.

Thanks. It's nice to make a change without having to make a bunch of other changes. White's a good color. You don't see too many.

IMHO they just look wrong. Get the taller handlebars with good pullback and roll on he bars towards you.
