Hope I am not intruding here cause I don't have a lo just the FB model. I have been talking to the dealer about the 4" pullback risers #56269-09. He insists that I will need the clutch cable 38666-07C and a transmission side gasket 36805-06.
I keep looking that the current set up and can't see where I will need the cable. If anything the clutch looks longer than the brake does now.
Are the Lo models setup different than the regular Fat Boys? I would like to get the risers and do the work myself if I can do so without getting into the cable. I am not so confident I could do the work in that area.

 

The dealer is always gonna say you need more than you want, they want to make money.

 

I agree, but let's be fair.. the parts guy is repeating what he was trained to do... It is the MoCo that tells them to say that.

I was talking to my local parts guy yesterday about just this... I mentioned this thread , and he nodded and said LOL

 

That works for me then. I can't order the parts until Tuesday (closed Monday) but I am just going to get the risers and see how it works. Great forum!

 

I need to do the same thing to my baby(FatBoy Special 2011)!!!
But my dealer told me that the cable are very very short... I'm really confused!
Any ideas about my problem?

 

Hi
I replaced the risers on My 2011 FB Lo to the 4" pullback risers & didnt need to change any cables or wiring.
The 4" didn't give Me enough so I went for the 6" pullback risers & only had to replace My brake-line & have the ABS reset,the wiring was looped under the tank I just cut the cable tie & they reached no worries,the clutch cable I just re routed it & the Throttle cables are fine.

 

And the risers helped the back pain? i have the same problem on my Slim and was thinkin about the 4.5" pullbacks they have out for them.

 

not a Lo here either, but i put 4" pullbacks on my 07 FB and didn't need any different cables or wiring.. i didn't pull the fuel tank either. there was enough slack that i didn't need to. now if i went with the 6", i would have had to pop the tank up. i believe the stk cables would have still been long for the 6". there was/is no issues with the bars hitting the tank, though i did turn the bars slooowly the first time to make sure.

To add to covering fuel tank, DO NOT forget to cover the frt fender with a thick blanket..

Having a second person to help hold the bars is highly recommended. it makes tightening the upside down riser clamp bolts a whole lot easier..

 

4" risers work fine with no modification on FB, LO and Slim.
I have put them on all these, no prob at all.

 

I have a 2010 Fat Boy (not the lo) and put the 6" on without having to buy or add anything. Have to re-route cables but worked just fine. The apes that I have on now are a different story.
