For those of you with the 6" risers, did you have to do anything cable and wire wise? I have changed all of my cables and brake line to Chromite, pretty sure they would all be long enough. Not so sure about the wiring from the handlebars though, I don't recall there being that much to play with there when I put on the 4's, not sure if there would be enough to go another 2". What did you guys have to do?

I think u would be pushing it.
Mine sure wouldn't it was kinded tight on the 4 inch.

Added 2 1/2" longer risers to my '08 FXDC just before I went on a 4k+ trip last fall. Made a world of difference! No more lower back pain, and my legs even felt better after a 12 hour day in the saddle>

I bought a set of 4.5 inch pullback risers from a Deluxe that Malingerer had, and mounted my stock Heritage bars on those. Made a world of difference. My bar height across the top of the grips is 15.25 inches, and I made no cable changes...had plenty of slack. I did remove one brake line clamp.

All it did was confirm the fact that I need taller bars with a bit more pullback.
