Pullback risers are amazing!
I finally installed a set of 4" pullback risers on my FatBoy and I cannot believe the difference! I was hoping for less shoulder and back pain from reaching. Not only do I have none, but the whole handling of the bike has changed. It's so much easier to lean the bike and to make very tight circles. The difference to me is nothing short of night and day. It feels like you can flick this thing compared to the old "molasses" feel. I had no other problem except for lower back and a lot of shoulder pain, but I never had an issue with the handling. It now feels just as rock solid but much more nimble.
And yes, there is plenty of cable slack on my '10 FB; no problems.
Anybody considering this change, I'd seriously recommend that you go for it.

I put on some 4 inch risers a while back as well. While I was at it, I changed the bushings to urethane. Made a world of difference in terms of comfort.

I did the 4" ones on my FatBoy along with the good bushings...what a difference! It feels so good I've actually even thought about trying the 6".
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?
