Has anyone tried the 4 or 6 inch pullback risers from Harley with the stock handlebars?

I have not added a tuner yet. I plan to this summer at the same time that I replace the air cleaner. The bike seems to run fine without being retuned, but I think the whole package would make it better. I really like the exhaust. It is not so loud that I will **** off my neighbors but when I crack the throttle, I make some noise. Plus I think the fat pipe goes nicely with the fat look of the bike.

Another thing ... the right side passenger peg gets moved up about an inch or two to clear the exhaust. If you carry a passenger very often you should probably get the adapter plate to match for the left side.

Toledofatboy,

I have tried both the 4" and 6" pullback risers to see how they fit, etc. The 4" risers didn't seem to change much at all quite frankly.

I was very happy with the 6" pullback risers as far as where they positioned the grips. Made it very comfortable for me. They are quite beefy as well make the front-end look beefy as well.

Unfortunately for me, I am going all black in look. I have the 6" pullback risers for sale in the softail parts forum if you are interested. Based on my results, the stock wiring will reach without extensions, the stock clutch cable is still too long, the the brake and throttle cables will need replaced.

PM if you are interested in them.

Found that the 4" pullbacks do very little. Maybe a little closer and higher, but not really much change. They did fit with the stock wiring/cables. Seem well made and fit the look pretty well.
