Default No more numb hands on Heritage
Its not always what grips you have, but hand and wrist position. I installed a set of Pullback Risers - 1 1/2" inch set back - 4" inch rise..NO NUMB HANDS NOW.. Paid 35 bucks for them on ebay and I'm simply giddy!

Now all you have to worry about is getting numb nuts from riding so much...

I'll assume this is true. When I was being "fitted" for a Fat Bob, the salesman mentioned that very thing and suggested that the bars be back about an inch or so for me. Was nice to hear that type of talk versus sign here. Still window shopping however but he was informative and helpful.

Enjoy the new found comfort.

Hardhead, Yes I was able to use the stock cables and brake line. I did have to make a couple "adjustments" but its working great. I dont know how to post pics here, but I will email you the pics of the risers if you want.
