Default risers update

for all who were intrested, and the few who doubted that handle bar risers. were available and could be installed on my 05 fatboy without new cables and brake line......... i installed a set of 21/2 risers from drag specialties sat and had to do no modification what so ever. all i need was 4 extra nuts for the clamp for the bars. installed and riding in less than 30 minutes....... what a difference.........kerry

You can go as much as 4 1/2 inches withpullback risers onFatboys, at least in TC88 years. That's what I put on mine, with no mods to cables or brake line.
