Default Riser Question
I have a 2010 Fat Bob and I would like install a set of Harley risers that are 1" higher and pull back 1" further. Has anyone else done this that can tell me if longer cables or a brake line will need to be installed or will the swap work with the stock cables and brake line?

I don't have a FB, but I put risers on my 2010 FXDC that raised the bars 1" and back 2" without any problems. I would think you would be ok, but I've been wrong before. Maybe call the dealer or an indy for some info.

Do the HD 4" Pullback risers work on your bike. Look at the photo. I love mine:

I used the 2" riser extensions from Spacer Jim. No issues, I love it sooooo much better now.

Not the best pic, but you get the idea.



Pricey, but extremely well made. http://www.rivcoproducts.com/product...8&cat=4&page=2
