Hi all, just bought my first Harley - 2007 FXDC, before I picked it up I had the handle bars changed ( same as low rider) and
now I realize would like them to comefurtherback, just a couple of inches. Does anyone know what size pullback rises I should
get? and would I have to change the cables?
You can't use a pull back bar because of the way the speedometer mounts. You'de have to change that mount, too. I put some 3.5" straight riser, then tilted the grips back a touch.
I put Drag DS-290125 risers on mine with the stock bars. They're advertised at 4", but they're actually 4 1/2"up and 1 1/2" back. When you factor in the 29° rake, they raise the bars about 3" and bring them back about 2 1/2". Those J&P risers Clark mentioned are 2 1/2", so pullback won't be as quite as much as with higher ones (the higher you go at the 29° angle, the closer the barsget to you). Throttle/idle, clutchcables and wires were fine on mine. Brake line would have worked after bending the hard line at the master cylinder, but I replaced it with a black braided stainless one. The risers were about $30 from Zanotti's.
Just received the latest J&P catalog (Big Book) yesterday. Page 842 is where you need to go. There is now a pullback riser made specially for the Superglide. 1" up / 2" back / no angle change on the Speedo / and no new cables or linesneeded. Finally a solution that's not a conglomeration of parts for other bikes, but made for the SG.
I tried to find a link at the J&P site, but could not find one. I hope this helps .... I may order one myself.

Hey Murph..were you able to keep the original hardware ( clamps and fasteners) ?
Thanks
Yeah, all the original stuff still works with the stock bars and new risers. The brake line got really tight when I wanted to rotate the bars down a little after the riser swap, so I got a Goodridge Ebony line and fittings. I still had the stock brake line in the pix I attached, you can see the brake line in the 1st pic.
I'm not sure how much difference there is between Low Rider bars and the stock FXDC bars, so your wires and brake line might not work if you userisers similar to mine. I was able to easily pull enough wire out of the frame on mine, but I don't think I could have got much more if I would have needed it.
