Default street glide and risers

Hey guys, I'm the proud owner of a 2016 street glide special. I need to pull the bars back several inches. Anyone added risers to one of these? I have some 4" pull backs, that I had gotten for my old softail, but never used. Will these work ok on the glide? Is there enough room under the switches/fairing for the risers to work? Thanks. A little lost here...lol

Risers won’t work in fairing bikes. Have to change the bars if you need more pullback.
