Default Need help finding cables to install taller risers..

I have 12” pullback risers by biltwell, I don’t know what to extend and where to find the right length brake hose, idle and throttle cables.. any advice helps! It’s a 03 FXSTB Night train with stock risers. Need to put the 12” risers on because the stock risers hurt my back like crazy, I have t-Rex arms

Here's the page from Magnum Shielding that shows the cables and brake lines available for your bike with the stock lengths, etc... if you're putting 12" risers on, and keeping the stock drag bars, I would add 6" to the stock lengths (the stock risers are 6"), and buy those cables. Assuming you want SS or aftermarket style cables and brake line.

I have their polished Stainless cables and brake line on Reaper, and I can happily recommend them.

Cheers!
