My bars fit me almost perfect as is.

But being **** and all, I have issues with the word "almost".

Will be looking for that side shot to get posted before I lock in my decision.
I already have a set of 4 inch pullback risers on my shelf.
Would have put them on two years ago, had I known I didn't need cables.
My last handlebar swap (previous bike) took me to the cleaners with all the extra cables and wire extension kits. Shell shocked. LOL

I have now made a note and inserted same into my pocket. Maybe when I get home tonight, it will remind me to post the side shot... Obviously I forgot all about it yesterday...

Thank you! But don't go out of your way to hurry.
I'll likely be waiting for a rainy Saturday to play with it.
Winter is around the corner. I do look forward to seeing the pic though.
Real good chance I will be installing the risers.

Okay, here you go. Let me know if this is not what you need...

I took a series of pics from farther away to closer... I was gonna set the bars at the same angle as the risers, but a little higher angle was better for me.

By the way, the black bag on the risers is a Wiley X sunglasses pouch. Perfect place to zip-tie it.

That's the same set-up that was on my '02 Heritage when I bought it back in Jan. It gave me almost the same riding position on my Sportster I had with mini-apes.

Whoever had that Heritage before I bought it was accessorising it .... for me! Bars, pipes, pegs, etc. exactly what I would have put on it was already there!

Great pics!

Thank you for your efforts. I'm convinced that I should have put mine on long ago. Gonna be some garage time in my near future.

Thanks!

Awesome pics, thanks! Does HD make 4" NON pullback (straight) risers?

It looks like this kit: http://www.harley-davidson.com/gma/g...bmLocale=en_US is for 1.25" bars and the stock Heritage bars are 1", I doubt they would work - ?
