I had the 4" pull-back risers installed on my Heritage. They made a huge difference in comfort for me. The new ones are thicker than the ones I have, which I think looks better on Softails. Good luck with them.

I believe they do reduce the vibration but to be honest I put them on because everyone recommended it. Don't ask me to follow you off the bridge though.

. . . . . and I ordered them because Warren did.
Actually, the Harley listing for the risers says you need other parts, but it doesn't say what the other parts are. After some searching, I figured out it was the bushings. I read somewhere the stock ones are rubber. Warren gave me the part numbers. I'm waiting for mine to get here.

Same here, I put the H-D pullbacks on my Slim (p/n 55900023) and it gave me a more upright seating position, as opposed to leaning forward. Not good for an old guy with a bad back. The risers are great.

Just took a 500 mile ride and am very happy with the risers. After I installed them I moved my riding position back 1" and the risers still made a nice difference.

When I put RKII bars on my Heritage I went with Deluxe risers to give me 2 more inches of pullback. I followed the general advice of going with the poly bushings but found they gave me too much back and forth movement in the bars. Didn't feel safe to me so I put the stock bushings back in and they've been fine.
FTW, I got the polys from Drag Specialties. Part #59-4683. I contacted them and they said it was the right part for my bike. Wasn't worth the aggravation and cost of returning so they're sitting in my parts bin. If anyone wants them
they can have them for postage.

I have a 2002 Deuce with the factory risers, which I think are 6", I am wanting to go with more pullback. as you can see with my drag bars on don't have the clearance I want from the bars to the tank. anyone know if 7,8,or bigger inch pullback be better for me?
