Default Pullback risers

I know I've seen a couple posts from folks that added pullback risers to their Fat Boys.

Can anyone tell me which part number they used.

Also, anyone try the new slotted risers? 56296-05

They look pretty cool. I was planning to get mirrors with slotted stems and was thinking these might
go well with them...

Finally, the parts guy at the dealer said that cables would need to be changed but I also saw folks
on the forum here say that they were long enough and didnt need changing.

Whatever I settle on, I was HOPING to get some 4 1/2 inch pullback risers and NOT have to
change my cables.

Can I do this, or is the parts guy right?

I would like to see how this looks whrn you get it done. I just picked up my 05 Fatboy 2 weeks ago, and i love it, but the handlebars need a slight pullback.

I have also seen you over on dropzone.com, and the pro-tec, as i was going to piant mine as well. i jump out at Skydive Spaceland, Rosharon, TX, Take Care and Blue Skies!!

Heya! Whats up Miguel?
How you recognize me on dz.com? Was it my barrage of posts a couple months ago announcing the aquisition of my Fat Boy?

This Sunday I get to do something I always wanted to do.
Ride my dream bike to the dropzone where I'll be jumping my dream rig. I had a lace up panel sewn into the back of my
gearbag so that it fits right onto my sissy bar.


I'll definitely post some new pics once I get the risers on. I'll be buying new mirrors at the same time :-)

Cheers!

Hey Chunks- I tried those risers that you talked about on my 04 Fatboy and found that my cables and break line were stretched a little to much for my liken. I ended up taking them back.

Didnt turn out that way for me.
I put them on today myself and they are great. Plenty of slack in all cables
no problems at all.
