pullback risers on FXDC stock bars, kinda looks like the stock setup of the now discontinued softail standard.

I put 4.5" pullback risers on my 09 FXDC. Didn't have to change cables but I did have reverse the front brake clamp. I have short arms so it made a lot of difference. Pics are attached of my installation.

Kanzig, they're DS-290125. The Drag catalog calls them 4", but they measure 4.5". They're 1/3 the price of the Harley 56066-82A risers.

I just installed the Custom Chrome/Drag Specialties 3 3/4" straight Wide Glide style risers from Dennis Kirk on my '09 FXDC. Didn't have to change any cables etc. Sorry, don't have a picture. Even the straight ones bring the bars back a little as well as up, due to the rake angle. $39.95 and look great!

Thanks for all of the information.

I put the 4 in curved risers on today. No problems, all cables and wiring fit just fine.

I took it out for a ride and what a difference it made. Brought the bars back to where I no longer have to lean forward to reach them.

I also picked up a Sundowner seat on eBay last night for $175. With the risers and the seat should be able to ride all day and love it.

Only bad thing I discovered on my ride today. 43F + 60 mph + 30 min = "COLD".

Think I must be a fair weather rider.

You will LOVE the sundowner seat! Had the dealer put one on before I picked it up. Got 70 miles on it the first day to break the motor in , then drove it 450 miles home the next day. LOVE IT! (So does my a$$!)
