Suggestions to get closer to handlebars please
I posted a few times about my stock seating being so uncomfortable.Well I finally decided to try a Mustang. I got to ride with it some,, it seems really comfy.. But the problem is I was already feeling kinda stretched to reach the handlebars, and now it is worse. The Mustang seat definately sets me back an inch or two. My arms are straight out and I kinda got to lean over.. I can ride like this but I dont think it will be very comfortable. Who here has changed out their bars or put on different risers to get a closer fit? I hate to have to do this as my hubby says we will probably had to change out the cables too. Any suggestions?? thanks
I have a 2006 deluxe.

good morning, would like to see how your bike turns out. post pics before and after if you can. I have the same issue on my 05'. Would like my grips to be just a lil closer. Don't want to go thru all the cable/wiring change out.

I have been looking everywhere for pull backrisers.. do you have any part numbers? We even stopped at an HD dealership in De last weekend and they were clueless.. no help at all.. I have a call into my local dealership today and they said they would call me back..Since the deluxe already had 4 inch risers,what size would be good? I also have to make sure it clears the console..

I just got a call from the dealership and he recommended putting on heritaga bars also, he said I would need to change out the riser also.. Did you have to put on a different riser? He said with the Heritage bars I have more play and can rotate them back towards me and I should only have to switch out the clutch cable..

On my Heritage I just added new risers and then rotated the Bars back to me. That really helped.
