Default Pull back risers

Thinking about swapping out to a 4.5" riser with 1.5" pullback, but when I try to measure that out on the bike, it appears there may be issues with the hitting the stock chrome dash due to the pullback.

Anyone running these risers on a Wide Glide or similar dash setup? Do they clear the dash at full turn both ways?

Also I am thinking about the 2" tank lift, any issues with clearance if adding that too?

Thanks

I think there may be some problems with that unless you go with short risers with no pullback. I'm swapping out my 4 1/2's for 6 1/2's to get the stock bars closer to me.

Thanks

Tried 4" pull backs on my WG which has the 2" tank lift and the barshit the tank. Didn't like the looks of the pull backs anyways so got 3-3/4" straight risers and I am happy...
