Default 2008 lowrider new risers and bars
Installed wild 1 baby apes. Had original pullback risers but bars where to close. relocated indicator lights to the console and changed to 3 1/2" risers. Added 7" to the wires and 4" for all cables. Why doesn't H-D just make a relocation kit for the lights. if you dont do a home made mod your limited on bars.

Did you have to make the wire extensions yourself? Where did you get the new instrument panel? HD? Looks nice.

Did it all myself. it is not a new panel, i modified the original panel. just took a dremel with carbide cutter and went to work. took me just over 3 hours and patience.

Nice looking mod. Got Wild1 pullbacks for my wife's LR and will have to relocate the lights too. Excellent work!

I couldn't find risers like the wild 1's were i was able to re-use top clamp. the bolt pattern on the original H-D risers are differenrt. I like the 1 1/4" risers far better than 1".
