Default 2019 Softail Slim Risers

Just wanting to know how tall risers can go on my bike without the need for cable change.

I’ve been told that I can go 4.5in and only need to change brake cable but by eye looks like clutch will too.

if I’m needing to change the cabling, I’d much rather go with 6.5in which will be an extra 4in or so above std riser.

has anyone done risers or drag bars to their Slim and experienced any issues?

are the only differences between T bars and riser with drag bar the fact that the risers will be adjustable?

thanks

I recently added the H-D 4.5" pullback risers to my '18 Slim. I didn't have to swap anything out but I did have to reroute my clutch cable and remove the front brake cable cushion clamp under the triple tree in order to create enough slack when turning the bars lock to lock.
