You can just swap out the bars but that will put your bars pretty low and far away. Cables would probally be to long with this set-up but maybe able to make it work if thats the ride your looking for.
If you change risers you could probally go up to around a 4 inch riser with stock cables just depending on the bars. Anything over 4inchs then you may need some new cables.

I had 4" risers on my Superglide. Look here to see some photos: https://www.hdforums.com/forum/members/69537-rowo-albums-404-1995-dyna-super-glide.html

If you put drags on the stock risers you will definetly have some issues, turnsignals will hit the tank, also the throttle cable will hit the tank. I used the stock riser with a 1/2" spacer and had to move the signals, modify the fork stops, get a shorter clutch cable and reroute the throttle cables and probably forgot something else, this with using a night train bar.

BBERK,
That's an amazing set up you have on the FXD. I have the same model and planning to change to a wider flatter handlebar. Thinking beach or drag bar with a riser. Trying to figure out how to handle the speedo set-up. You got a great set-up with yours!!!!

Man I am waiting for my drag bars to be delivered by ups today. I ordered 8" risers with a couple inches of pullback. I hope they are not going to be too high now after seeing those 4" ers. If they are, I only paid $99 oh well. Live and learn. Just got 2 inches of snow today anyway.
