Default Risers on a New Fatboy
Just bought a 2025 Fatboy, does anyone know if I can put on up to a 2" pull back riser without changing cables and the brake line? Thanks in advance.

@Kickers1999 I have moved this thread from the Welcome section to the 2018+ Softail Models section as you will get better responses to your question in this section. The Welcome section is more for introducing yourself & letting other forum members know what Harley Davidson you own, not asking technical related questions.

I put a 4 1/2" pullback riser on my '21 FB. The stock clutch cable was plenty long, the brake cable was tight, but removing the P clamp gave enough room. I ended up installing a +2 brake hose so I could put the clamp back on.

If your just doing 2", you are definitely good.

The stock risers on a 2025 fat boy are already 2 1/2 inches.

I don't know if you're gonna get any of that are the same height with any pullback

Stock Riser height on the FLFBS is 2 3/4inch IIRC. 1.25inch clamp area thickness for stock Fat Boy FLFBS handlebars.
