Anyone go with 4.5 or 5 inch risers? I am trying to get the most rise without changing the cables since I hope to do it myself and save a buck.

Also, anyone know where I can find even the 4" risers? There are 315 matches on ebay for 4" alone, but finding them for the 1.25 bars is becoming a challenge. Surely someone has them for less than 50 bucks..... dealer was wanting $120, but they are still backordered! Several 4" for 1" bars for $30.... maybe they will work? Its only a quarter

I searched thru 16 pages of Fatboy lo risers before posting, and didn't find anything on 5 or 6 inch risers working without changing cables.... and your link doesn't work.

Try again. Clip notes. "Change the cable."

Went with a set of 5.5" risers. Got them off ebay for 30 bux, so if I end up having to change a cable or 2 I can live with that.

Got the 5.5" pullbacks on and didn't have to change a thing!

Stock bars and very happy with the result. They are shiny black and look good too. I will upload photos when I get a chance.
