I've been researching but have not found a definitive answer to my riser question.
2021 Sport Glide FLSB
What is the height of the OEM riser on this model?
What is the max pullback style riser that can be used WITHOUT changing out the brake fluid line or any other cable and wiring harnessing.
Can't remember the height of the oem riser. I installed the 4" pullback (Part Number: 56269-09 ) with no cable change. Only had to move the clutch cable to the front of the bar. Some say they've used the 6" without changing cables however I would have a tendency to believe 6" would be real tight.
Yes. 100%, the stock bars have a 1.25" clamping area. That is sometimes different from the listed bar diameter, because some are tapered. But the stock bars are 1.25" diameter, but also with a 1.25' diameter clamping area.

Thanks a lot!
Now wondering what the main bottom bolt down thread size is for the stock bars? Guessing aftermarket risers will come with those bolts if they are different than the OEM HD threads?
I searched High and Low and seems that all the HD pullbacks are on backorder. Decided to whip up a test set of extensions, to use until they become available. I had some 1.25" stock, cut a pair to 2" each center bored them 1/2" sanded and painted. About 2 hours of messing around but came out pretty well. I flipped the clutch cable in front of the bars and all other wires are fine. In fact another 1/2" - 3/4" of rise should work,( just a guess.?)
Any way went out for a test spin and the 2" rise feels much better on my lower back.
Just shop parts laying around vs $192 for now!
It was nice to retain the Attractive HD top clamp as well.
