Default 2013 fat boy riser help

Looking to add on a few inches to my bars. Want to try a few more inches on the risers first.. 2013 fat boy lo. Can someone give me a link to ones that will fit and would I need new cables with only 4” risers on stock bars? The bars are 1 1/4 not sure if it drops down to 1” where the clamps are on the risers? In the middle between the risers it’s still 1 1/4.

I put 3 inch risers on my 2013 Fatboy and the clutch cable just makes it. No problem with the brake line or the throttle cables. The bars are 1 1/4 inch under the risers. No stepdown.

3-4 inches is usually ok, you may need to re-route some wires or tweak the front brake line a little.

So take off the clamps and you`ll know the diameter
While they`re off, pull up and determine how much rise you can add with stock cables
No guessing required
