Default 2007+ Fatboy Risers

I noticed that Harley finally came out with some pullback risers for the newer models.

http://www.harley-davidson.com/gma/g...bmLocale=en_US

They have 4" and 6" ones. I'm interested in the 6" ones but am concerned about having to put longer cables in. The Harley website doesn't mention this only that you 'might' need to get a new handlebar clamp. Don't know exactly what 'might' means but I'm not concerned about a clamp, I'm concerned about the dreaded hassle of cable replacement.

If anyone has installed the new Harley risers please chime in...

Found Phat Risers website but I don't see any 6.5 risers. In fact I don't even know if they would fit the 1.25" bars of the Fatboy.

I put the 4" ones on my 2009 Fatboy. No mods required. Make enough of a difference to make me comfortable, but not so much that they're a big change from stock. Take a look at my album if you wanna see close up pics.
