Default Riser question.

From a stock setup. If I install 4" rise and 1.5 inch pullback would I need to replace my cables? Oh yea its an 03 FXDSG in the picture.

Unbolting your current risers or bars and pulling them up & back would quickly answer your question first hand....

I've got 6" risers with drag bars and have the stock cables. But, my wires are on the outside and not the inside like it came stock. I'm not sure if that helps your situation.

That's what I have on my '14 FXDSG. The stock cables are long enough, but it's the limit for the clutch cable.
