Default Handlebar Risers for Fatboy

I have a '99 FLSTF and I am looking to put some 4.5" pullback risers on for more comfort. I feel like I am leaning too far forward. I have "Chubby Beach Bars" on the bike now and wanted to know if I need to replace all of my cabeling to install the risers.

Need some help from someone who has done this!!! If I need to replace all of the cabeling what am I looking at $$$$.

Thanks!

I have Wildones 504 Bars on my bike and used the stock cables and wiring. But I dont have enough slack to add taller risers I tried to install 3" Buffalo Risers which are only 1" taller than stock and I did not have enough cable.

I have a 99 fatboy and just took off my 4-1/2 pull back risers because they hit the gauge cluster. The PO put them on and didn't bother to correct the problem. I decided in the end to go with straight risers..FWIW

I was able to swap out my stock bars Heritage bars with no cable issues. That fixed my reach issue that caused shoulder, back, and arm pain.

Cheers.
