Hell yes! The same bars and risers were waiting on my front steps when I got home from work last night. Looks like you got the 1.5's? I was a little nervous about them being too thick, but they look amazing in person, don't they.

The 1.5s are a perfect diameter for the deluxe/heritage. They are 'chunky' bikes, so the thickness of the bars blends in nice.
The bars are 14", but they are a big 14". I got cabling for a 16" bar and it's a perfect fit. Get the NAMZ cable extenders... Plug and play and they fish thru the bars without a problem. Probably saved an hour or two.
If you're doing it yourself, take the tank off and put the bike on a stand. I couldn't imagine doing it on the jiffy stand. Also to properly route and secure the throttle cables, you'll need to have the tank off.
Almost have it back together and will post up some pics once she's all buttoned up.
