Fat Boy pullback riser installation
Lookin at installing pullback risers on my 05 Fat Boy.
Anyone done this themselves and if so, how difficult was it?
Just wondering how much stuff I'd have to remove from the front forks
to make all the right stuff accessible.

Just remove the tins from the backside of the forks and they'll give you all the access you need. You'll have to loosen the bolts that hold the windshield on to slide them out. I think there's one other screw on each fork tin. Its a pretty simple ordeal, go for it!

RE: Fat Boy pullback riser installation
I put my 2 1/2" risers on a couple of years ago without removing the tins, just used a long extension. But either way, not really a difficult job.
Have since added Heritage bars to those same risers. Much more comfortable.

RE: Fat Boy pullback riser installation
I installed 4 1/2" risers on my 05 fatboy. Easy to do, but I haven't really found a quality product yet. I have had two sets of Kuryakyn risers and both have stripped out even with my being extra careful. If you get a quality set you will enjoy the added comfort. I have since ordered a set from J & P cycles. Hopefully they will be better!

RE: Fat Boy pullback riser installation
I have a question on pullback's. If I put 4 1/2 , 2 1/2 pullback risers on my 2004 FatBoy, will I have to re-work the wiring and brake lines. Or will the same ones fit?
Thanks Mark
