Default Fatboy risers installed

I am hoping to swap out my handlebars this winter with 12.5" wild ones, but in the meantime I threw on these 3.5" pullback risers. Got them off ebay for like $30... I know, I'm trying to break them at low speeds...so far seem pretty solid. Defintitely feel better with the bars a couple inches closer, more of a relaxed position than the more upright with stock risers. I do miss the harley logo on my old risers, but the new ones have a minor detail on the side that actually looks like it was made to go with the front cowling (if thats what that thing that the headlight mounts in front of).

Bike's done for a bit, new saddleman bags, passenger footboards, and risers. I am getting a new backrest pad for the wife, she has had multiple back surgeries from a horrible accident years ago. Going to grab a stock fatboy back rest pad, wider than I have and should spread the pressure beyond where it's focused now. I love my bike, rides like a dream.

Oh yeah, no cable modification needed, took me about 20 minutes to install then about 15 minutes to get them straight...I think they're straight, I think I have an autistic mind when it comes to dimensions...the slightest bit off and it drives me crazy...like my exhaust, they aren't parallel and it drives me nuts. I've tried to adjust them, but I can't get much movement out of 'em. I keep staring at the alignment of the risers, they must be off by the slightest amount, because it just doesn't click in my head like it's complete.
