Default Risers/Pull Back Question

Thinking of getting a set of pull-backs-the ones i see are anywhere from 2-6" rise and only 1-3" pull back. Is that enough of a pull back to notice? I need some kind of pull back-im reaching too much on the bars-but would that small of an amount help? --thanks

The 2.5" pullback risers from Drag Specialities worked for me. I was having shoulder and neck problems riding my '07 FXD with stock (short) risers. I wanted to keep the buckhorns, and not have to replace any cables or lengthen wires. The 2.5" risers gave me just the right reach, and worked with stock cables and wires. But... The FXD speedometer is mounted to the top clamp, which is made for a horizontal mounting to the stock risers and the speedo has a 35 degree up angle. The pullback risers also angle back, so the speedo wound up sticking nearly straight up when using the stock top clamp and speedo housing. The solution I chose is at https://www.hdforums.com/forum/dyna-...stone-fix.html My wife never did find out how much I paid to reposition the speedo..... If your speedo is not mounted to the top clamp, won't be an issue.
