Default Heritage with 4" pull back risers

I know some folks have been looking for pics of the 4" risers on a heritage. I couldn't find many when I looked. So, here are a few.

I know some guys don't like the look of the 4" risers on the heritage, but it's way more comfortable to me. And, that's what matters to me...









By the way, the cables and such reach, but you will have to get creative with the brake line. Take out the three screws, hook everything else up, then re-bend the brake line as needed and re-secure it.

Question regarding the 4" pullback risers: Do they pull back and up 4 inches MORE than stock, or is it about 2 inches more than stock since the regular riser has some (of course) rise built in. Thanks.

Not to sound ungrateful,.... but can you post a sideshot with the whole bike? Would give me the angle I was looking for.

I've got a set on the shelf from my last Heritage, but I had apes on it.
Was seriously considering putting them on this bike with the stock bars.

Also (important) did you have to lengthen any of you cables?
Would be a totally free swap for me if I can use my stock stuff.

Thanks, I didn't see it the first time way at the bottom.

Likely will change mine, after seeing a side shot.
