Default RE: pull back risers for a Heritage

thanks for the info guys. If I put a set of Deluxe risers on, does anybody know if the stock cables will work? She likes the looks of them. And...I said I would put apes on the bike but that would be for me not her. I think a set of 15" apes would really make the bike look badazz.

I just changed the risers on mine and got the Harley ones that increased it up 1" and back 2". Only have to streighten the break line, nothing else.

I had my risers installed by dealer before I picked up the bike and luckily the cables did not have to be changed. Should have mentioned that as always a consideration.

I put Deluxe risers on mine and used the original cables. The cables are fine, no tight spots at all. I found a set on Ebay for $50.00

I'm 5'7" and I had the same issue w/my HC. I rotated the bars back towards me, it made a big difference. The deluxe risers sound like the set up though.

Thanks for all the help guys. I just ordered her a set of Deluxe risers along with chromed Heritage handle bars and picked up the chromed resevoir, switch housings and lever kit...she is going to be extremely happy when she sees her scoot with all the new chrome goodies on it.

I think that is the same setup that Bluerose installed on her deluxe..you might send her a PM.
