I wanted to install HD 4" Pullback Risers and the common question was did I need to change the cable length of the brake and clutch.
I have a 2019 Fatboy 114".
Luckily I found a post by iHodor saying he did the upgrade to his bike and did not have to change cables. He was great responding to my questions and giving me advice.
This is for anyone that may want to do the same thing in the future with a similar bike. I had done it to a 2013 Fatboy Lo and it is amazing how just a couple extra inches on
the pullback helps the shoulder and back muscles.
I did not change cables. I also did not change the cables on the 2013 Model.
I did the same with my fatboy, and am very happy with it. The new riding position is much more comfortable. I don’t know if my brake line is short or what, but I ended up having to rotate the brake lever forward to get enough slack to attach it back to its original mount location. But all in all it’s probably the best mod I’ve made to mine so far
I installed the same risers on my 2020 LRS. No issues with cables. It didn't quite relieve the pain I was having in my arthritic shoulder, so I rotated the bars down and brought the grips a couple inches closer and that helped some.
Ric, similar problem here. Once I put different risers on I end up adjusting the bars a couple times to get the position that feels the most comfortable.
To find that sweet spot I have to adjust and then ride.
