Default Heritage Handlebars?
On my '08 Heritage I would like to bring my handlebars back an inch or so for a more relaxed reach, anyone got any ideas? pullback risers or different bars????

Delux risers may do the trick. Thats what I went with at first.

4" Pullback Risers worked great for me, no cable changes needed.

I put the 4" slotted risers from HD on my FatBoy and that was one of the best things I've done. Put my bars up and back perfect where 800 mile days weren't an issue.

+1 on adding pullback risers. I put them on my fatboy and it was the best change I have made. Lsot the use of my radio, but that can be fixed with a custom mount.
