Default Changing Risers Question

Want to bring the bars back an inch or 2 on my new Heritage but don't want to get into changing cables or bars. Does anyone know the max height riser I can use for pullback risers without having to actually change cables? It looks like the stock ones are 2" so I'm thinking 4" pullbacks would be the absolute max. Thanks for any help.

Have you tried just rotating the bars back or is that something you don't want to do. As far as risers go I would suggest finding a set off a Deluxe. They have the 2" pb you're looking for and are 4" high. They'll bolt right on. You should be able to find a set on Ebay for under $50.

Can't say for sure whether you can do this w/o a cable change. There are at least a couple members here that have put the Deluxe or similar risers on the Heritage bars and as I recall they said the stock cables worked. Maybe they will chime in.
