If you click on the thumbnail attached to my previous post you'll see the HD table were FXSB risers are given for 4" height and 1,15" pullback. I indicated the correct line on the table with a small arrow on the left side.
Can't comment on the theoretical hypothesis you made, just pay attention on the position of the speedo not to have any contact with the tank console if you increase pullback while maintaining stock height.

Ok great thanks for clarifying. I put on the new handlebars and the ride is already much better. The brake line, however, is TIGHT when the handlebars are turned all the way to the left...

I had also tried getting some spacers from JP cycles, but they aren't fat enough to match up to the stock risers... any tips on where to find some? Or are people having them custom made?
