The stock risers on the Slim are 2". I put 3 1/2 inch pullback risers on mine without changing any lines out. If you go any higher you will probably need at least a brake line, but the line on the S model Fatboy is 2 inches longer than the slim, I measured it in case I wanted to go higher. The Fatboy S and the Slim S have the same clutch cable part number. The Risers are available on EBay in gloss black to match and run about $78. The Are a Drag Specialties part. Easy swap

Note that my seat is a little higher than Gunny's due to my post hardware being on top of the frame plate instead of underneath.
Also, it wouldn't take much to fab a flat plate allowing one to push the seat backward.
I'm 6'2" and love the ride height. It feels very natural to me. I may raise my bars about 1/2 to 1" if the brake and clutch line allow it.

The luggage rack you made looks great, ties in really good with the S.

I needed the pullback, and with the Pogo I may go to 4 1/2", already have them on the bench. I'm thinkin the clutch stock clutch cable would even work with them if you routed it behind the downtubes. The brake line however will need swapped. I've bled ABS brakes and got the indicator to work fine but I still take it to the dealer and have him run it on the digital tech brake procedure. You don't want to find out they aint perfect when you really needem.

Unfortunately I can't get the parts for the pogo seat mod here in the UK so was wondering if the guys that have done this in the US could let me know if these prices I've got are about right ?
Total $477.22 US

That is for the seat, mounting hardware & the piston mount.

That's very close Paul. I think I paid $215-220 for the T-Bar and Post and about $250 for the seat. Of course my seat isn't the one with the three rivers. I got the dark brown seat. I think it's the 1938 version.
