Default 4" Risers

Looking to put a 4" riser with some pullback on 11 FXDC. Anyone know if I have to change out cables to make it work?

I just put 4 1/2" risers on a 2010 FXD and all the cables were plenty long enough.

Default Thanks for the info

Looking at HD part 56066-82 - 4" curved riser. 4.4 inch height with a 1.5 inch pullback.

Put a riser on my last bike and made a world of difference in comfort.

My HD parts guy thought I'd need to change all the cables.

Thanks everyone for the info...will pursue.

I cant comment on the 6 inch riser. I went with 4 inch pullbacks and stock FXDC bars. I'm 5'11 using a corbin dual tour seat and forward controls and I'm real happy with the reach. My only concern now is that I feel a wider bar would ease the pinch in shoulder blades. Cables and wires were no problem.

For those who installed the 4" with the stock FXDC bars, do you have the speedo on the bars? Did it work out with the original top clamp that has the indicator lights and the speedo mount? Or is this the same problem that putting drag bars on where you have to rig the speedo mount. Looked at instructions PDF on Harley site and it shows a top bracket that comes with the risers, but does not show speedo mount Just need to know if you can use the original top bracket with the risers. Anyone?
Thanks for info
