On my wife's '13 Iron, I had to use a 4.5" riser to clear the tank.
I tried 3.5", but the pullback hit the tank. I used Drag Specialties
from amazon (only because it was easy). Link is below picture.

you can get quite a few different sizes in pullback risers. If you want to get above the tank you probably want to look at 4.5" or higher.

On your wife's Iron, did you have to get a longer brake line? Do you have any pics? Curious about doing the same thing.

No just bent the hardline a bit & moved the line at the clamp point up
out of the clamp. I used a zip tie around the hardline and clamp to
secure it.

I don't have any recent pics. I'm currently in the process
of adding a righthand rotor & XR caliper. Already got the RH
slider (and Intiminators with rebuild kit) done. I'll try to take
some pictures when its all completed (along with the larger
rear rotor).
