Default Riser pull back question
Hey guys

Need advise I have an 07 Heritage and recently installed a Firehouse rider backrest. I would like to get some risers that pull back maybe 1" to 2" but want to keep the rise at a minimum. The height of the bars is fine, just need to pull em back some. Due to crappy Colorado weather I am unable to get out and ride to see just how much pull back I need but thought I would start the research. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Why not just loosen your bar clamp and turn the bars back a bit before ordering new risers. That might do the trick. Time involved...5 minutes. Comfort...Priceless.

Good suggesting doc, and have already done that, but may need a bit more pull back. Soon as weather warms up and steets dry will will give it a test drive
