NO 6 1/2" pulback risers.....
Well the place I purchased my 6 1/2" pullback risers were on backorder a couple weeks out... So I got a refund... So now I'm looking at a Black 10" pullback T/dragbar... now my question is for the guys(and gals) that have this kinda setup what size cables am I going to have to buy? I can add wire to that stuff to extend it but as far as clutch and brake what sizes if any do I need to buy? By the way these are going to go on a '08 Fatbob...Thanks for the info...

These are new HD risers for the 1.25" Fat Bob bar. Got them about 3 weeks ago. I think ahey are 6 or 6 and 1/2 inches. Your stock cables fit them without the slightest problem. I would be surprised if you had to wait for new ones very long. Would be expensive for all new cables, and rewiring those stock Fat Bob internally wired bars, don't know if all the internal wires would have to be redone, but if so, that would be additional fun.

Those risers look great! Did the top clamps come with them? It doesn't show the top clamps when you look them up on their website.
Thanks!

Yes, the top clamps came boxed with the risers.
And I think a 2 inch tank lift would NOT work with them 'cause the throttle cables are very close to the stock tank position when turned full right.

Thanks buddy! I am going after them now. I'm also very impressed with the action pics you have posted in your photo album. Very cool.

Let me know in terms of comfort how this mod goes? Im thinking of going the same way, but need opinions. How far back does the handlebar position go in comparison to the stock risers?

They sit about an inch higher and an inch aft than the stock bars. If you feel a bit of a clamshell position, like you're riding a VRod with the stockers .... the curved give a bit of relief from that. Not a radical change, but for me, just enough change to shorten the reach to the bars, improving long ride comfort.
