Deluxe risers on my Heritage...
Thought I'd give this a try to bring the stock bars up and back a bit, without laying out the cash for new bars, etc. I think it turned our pretty well, and I'm anxious to see how they feel after a few miles down the road; but that'll have to wait until spring thaw.
A big thank you to Malingerer for the deal he made me on the risers...thanks Tom!

I did the same with my Heritage. It helped a little, but I just didn't like the way it looked. Sure was cheaper than Apes though.
Ended up going with Harley's 16" Apes and Risers and really like the set up.

How long were the risers? I was thinking of doing the same thing. After I put on new seat, it just feels like the grips would be better a bit higher and rolled back a little. I was thinking 1.0" or something close to that.

Near as I could tell, about 3" taller and about an 1" back. No cable change at all. I did remove the front brake line clamp attached underneath the triple tree though...
