Default Question on Pullback Risers fo 08 FXDC

Anyone on here put any pullback risers on a 08 Super Glide Custom? I was wondering if you had any trouble with the length of your cables or brake line?
Looks to me that a 3" or 4" would work without more mods. I don't really want to change the cables & such hopefully. Just trying to get bars back a bit to straighten my back up a little.

I have risers that set my bars back 2" and up 1". There is plenty of extra cable and wiring to get a 4" pullback riser on your bike.

I used the 2.5" pullback risers from Drag Specialties. The part # is DS-290126. No problems with cables, brake line, or wiring.

I'm thinking about going a little higher with some fat Softail risers.

Last weekend I installed risers I ordered from rivco.com (Part FXD017 I think). Not cheap, but very good looking product, and moved the bars just about like you discribed (up 1" & back 2"). Did not have any trouble with length on cables & wires, except for a little "tightness" with the throtle cables. They work o.k. as is, and probably will be back to perfect with a little adjustment.
