Default Riser help Please!!!!

Maybe a dumb or already asked question, I'd like to add a couple inches to my risers, I believe the current stock set up on my 04 FXDI is about an inch, I like to pull the bars back a bit and up, looking at DS's 3.5 pullback.
Anyone feel I'll have any issues with my stock cables & wires?
Thanks in advance guys.

Why don't you unbolt them and lift them up 3.5" and see if you have any issues?

Default risers

I think my old stock risers off my 04 low rider were 4.5 tall with 1 in of pullback you may be able to find some cheap. just a thought

I don't know if you bought those other ones or not, but I have used the 6" Duece style on my Bob and my brother's Superglide with stock cables.

In fact, on mine, I even made another spacer for under them:


They have a thin nub on the bottom you just cut off to be flush:


If you were interested, I just so happen to have some fat drag bars and a set of those risers...real cheap $ for you!

Thanks my man, I ended up grabbing the DS 1" back, 3.5" up risers, taking a couple days off the latter part of next week....going to install the risers and tackle my fork polishing project.
Thanks Again

i'm also going to do 3 1/2 inch risers, but straight up. but to be on the safe side I bought all new cables with an extra two inches of length. I already have mini 8's on the bike, just want a little more height without buying new bars. but I also bought a speedo relocation kit and also have a joker machine top clamp with a hole cut for the indicator lights.
