Looking to add Longer risers or riser extensions to my bike without having to change cables (if possible). Bike is a 14 Heritage. Anyone know?

 

not sure about a Heritage but I added 4" pullback risers to my 14 FatBoy with no issues.....

 

For reference...I went from 10" stock mini-apes to 12" less-mini-apes on my bones... No issues.

Perhaps run a string along the cables, measure it and then use the same string to measure the new bars.

 

Curious if anyone did the 12.5" Wild 1s without changing cables. Anybody?

 

I think you should be fine.Arent stock heritage bars 12s anyway?

 

No theyre 10s the risers are 2", and i intend on keeping those as well.

 

I'll be watching this thread. I'd like to raise the bars a bit on my '12 Heritage.

 

I`d bet anything more than 2 inches could cause some binding or tension in your stock cables. I guess you could try and re-route the cables but I just don`t see that much slack available.

 

The stock Heritage bars are 12". Part number 56569-86. Width 31.25", Rise 12", Pullback 5", Base Width 11.50".

Stock Heritage riser is part number 55984-07, Rise 1.94", Pullback 0.39".

Specs for all handlebars and risers are cited on pages 621 (handlebars) and 638 (risers) of the H-D P&A catalog.

So if you're changing to 12.5" bars from stock, you're only adding a half inch of rise so you don't need new cables.
