2020 FLSL Pullback Risers
Hi,
HD part no. 55900023. I think this is compatible with the stock control cables on the current softail slims. My dealer is saying I will need to replace the brake line. Anyone have experience fitting this kit and could confirm either way?
Many thanks.

"• 4.5" high risers are compatible with the stock control cables and brake lines for a low-cost conversion"

Has anyone put these on their own Slim? Just like to know the cables. wiring and brake line don't get too tight.
The next challenge will be parts delivery (not in stock) and then waiting outside for the 5k service and riser install to be done. Customers are not allowed inside the dealership at the moment. I have a 2 hour each way ride to the dealer and a 2 hour plus wait whilst there. No coffee shops open and they're a couple of miles from a town centre. Hope it's not raining and I can find somewhere for a pee! 🙂👍 I'm sticking with the dealer for the service because of a discount deal when I bought the bike and I'm still not happy with the transmission (particularly finding neutral). Want them to check that out.
Thanks for your replies.

Had the 4.5" 'pullback risers' put on today. 90 mile ride home. Can't tell any difference really. That's a disappointment. Need more pull back. When you compare the stock clamp with the risers, there's a noticeable increase in height and about an inch of pull back. Just not enough to be a noticeable improvement.
It all fits with existing cables and brake line, plenty of slack at full lock.

I notice on my bike with 4.5" pullback risers AND adjusting the bar tilt back a bit I wasen't exactly where I thought I wanted to sit but after riding like that for 3,500 miles it seems like home now and I stopped thinking (
) about it. If it was still bothersome to me, I would have been looking at different handlebars too. Either way the pullback risers were a move in the right direction for me.

I have simply unbolted the top handlebar clamp and sit on the bike holding the handlebars with my eyes closed in a comfortable position to determine what risers I need or if tilting the bars back a bit will help.
