Default FXLRST - Cable length for riser

Hi all,

I’d like to add a 6.5” Thrashin Supply pullback riser to my 2023 Low Rider ST. Does anyone know if I can do that without changing from oem to longer handlebar cables/lines/wires? I’ve gotten conflicting info from two dealers.

Thanks for any input, appreciated.

Can't answer your question but keeping you on top.

Welcome .Zak. Great first post.

Hope you continue to enjoy your ride here with us on the HDFORUM.

Only as a suggestion, but very important, create a signature line similar to mine on your bike with the year, model, and all the letters Harley assigned to the bike. It will appear at the bottom of your post.

You can also add a favorite picture to the signature line.

Doing this will be helpful if you ask a question or to someone asking a question. All Harleys aren't the same with many changes and variations over the years.

You can also add a favorite picture for an Aviator postage stamp you see at the top left of your post.

Thank you! I’ll fill out my profile as you suggest. I’ve been meaning to get started on the forum and this question prompted me.

A thread appeared under this with the answer to my question, which is yes I can use the Thrashin’ 6.5” with no cable changes. I’ll improve my search fu!

Best,

FLMan

best way to look at it is if you go two inches high you will not need to add to the wires or cables. factory has enough for that. anything beyond two inches you will need to extend wires and cables. I've done both .

I used the same riser and did not need to change any cables or wires. You might have to rotate the banjo fitting a little but it will reach fine. Lot's of folks on here have done it. I even rolled back my bars some and the brake line is long enough.
