Default Fatboy risers

Like to put a 3 inch riser on my 2013 fatboy to bring the bars up a little. I think the o.e. risers are 1.5 inches. I don't think I'll need to change any cables or brake line, but I figured I check here if anyone has any experience with the longer risers. Thanks.

I put on some 4 up and 1 back risers on a 2003 fatboy, stock cables were just enough. I think you'll be fine.

A 3" straight riser spacer is the max for stock bars/cables. I have a set on my 12 Fatboy. Much nicer feel vs stock.
