Default 2" risers on Deluxe

Hey all wondering if anyone has ran into any issues running a regular 2" riser on stock bars for the Deluxe? Thought it might bring the bars farther forward and down a little? Plan to make mine look as ol' skool as possible. Thanks!

I put them on my 2005 Deluxe with some White Brothers cruiser bars. 36" wide and very "old School".

I put the '2 risers from the fatboy on my 08 deluxe with the stock bars. They worked fine. it was a quick job. Didnt need anything else. I later put different bars on.

I didn't have to change any cables. Everything hooked up stock. The wider bars seem to make it handle better to me.

I went with klockwerks bars. They are similar to the deluxe bars, but '1 1/4 thick, chrome, internally wired, and put your hands a bit wider and forward. What the deluxe bars shoulda been.
