Default Heritage Softail Pullback Risers

Have an '04 FLSTCI with stock handlebars. I have rotated them back towards me, but want them closer still. Is there anything I need to be aware of with respect to pullback risers? Is there a certain length that will end up getting caught on the speedometer bezzle? I really want the handle bars just moved back towards me and am not interested in raising them. Any suggestions out there?

We put a pair of V-Factor pullbacks on my girlfriend's heritage, the stock cables were too short to rotate to the extreme top or bottom but otherwise work well.

Thanks. I'll have to check them out. Don't want to have to change out the cables.

We put 2 1/2" pull back risiers on my wife's Heritage without having to change any cables or wires. Still not far enough back, so we put 4" pull back risers on. I had to rerun the wires but did not have to change any cables.It is just right now. Looks good and did not interfere with anything.

Kept looking and looking at the different risers out there... And finally decided to just go with a different handlebar... Ordered a Wild 1 Chubby W0504... Should be here just in time next week for me to put it on prior to heading to the ROT Rally in Austin.

Thanks all for the info though.
