Risers on FXDC?
I took my new FXDC on its first extended Interstate cruise today. Took I26 up toward Asheville then 108 through the rolling foothills. Man, I love this bike!
I have realized that I'd like the bars to be a little higher. Has anyone installed the 56916-07 risers on their Custom? They look like they will raise the bars maybe 2 inches. I don't think that's enough to require new wires, cables, or brake line.
Thoughts?

You should be able to do 4" risers without changing cables (if you want that much height). A few months back I sold some 4" pullback risers to a forum member for an FXDC, and I don't think he changed anything else.

All the aftermarket risers I'm seeing are for 1" bars, and most of the HD ones are too. I'm pretty sure the bars on my Custom are 1.25". Am I right?
