Default Pullback risers for 09 Heritage

2009 Heritage softail with the older style Heritage bars. I’d like to add some pullback risers. I sat on a 2013 with 4 inch pull back risers and they felt great. My question to the forum is what brand or set would you recommend?

thanks in advance

Frez

I put 2 1/2 " pullbacks on my 07 heritage so the tach I installed wouldn't rub on the shield. I don't think you can go much higher without having to change you cables..

I used Flanders bars for a replacement brand . I also took the time to do the internal wiring for the clean look. But this took a lot of time !

I have 4.5” Milwaukee risers on my ‘12 Heritage with stock bars. Had to order a longer brake line. Also added polyurethane riser bushings. Ordered everything from JP Cycles.

I have an 09 heritage softail. I got the stock 4" risers off of a deluxe and replaced the stock 2' risers. I had to loosen the cables some but no issues or problems. I have 8K miles on them with no problems.

Installed my new risers from JP Cycles a couple days ago. I went with the JO cycles brand and I also did the handlebar bushings while I had it apart. All in all it wasn’t to bad of a job. I took my time and torqued everything down to spec.

I had to reroute my clutch cable and I might end up ordering a new brake line because it’s a little snug but not real bad.
