Default 6" curved risers
How far back does the 6" curved risers move the bars? Looking to reduce the reach on my FatBob but not get into changing the bars.

I've seen them in 1" to 3 1/2 pullback. All depends on what brand.

Will the HD 6" risers work with the stock cables on a Fatbob?

I can't say specifically about the HD ones but with my LA choppers 5.5" Hefty Risers (1.75 pullback) and 35 degree Flanders drag bars (8.25 pullback) didn't need to change the cables. So with the stock drag bars being less than the ones I have I am going to say you should be fine.

Thanks.
I'm not sure they will pull the bars back a full 1.7" as the stock risers offset the bars back a little.
I have the risers in the garage, I'll check exactly what the difference will be.

It will work, I have had the stock risers with 2" riser spacers without problems.
Sorry for stealing the thread a little. The new risers will bolt up to the same spot your stock ones did so they will pull back as advertised.

I put the Harley-Davidson 6 inch pull backs on my fat bob and didn't need to change any wires or cables.
