Risers for Heritage?

I'm looking for risers that will fit a 2013 Heritage and won't require any new cables/wires. I just want a couple more inches of height and don't want to replace the handlebars. Anyone install risers on a Heritage and if so, which ones did you use? Thanks!

Nope, love the way mine are in stock form.

2'' may be pushing the stock cables limits.

Also check Ur Indy shop or a call to Ur dealer should help U get an answer.

My girlfriend used Drag Specialties on her 2012 Heritage; 2" riser with an inch of pullback. No problems with the cables.

My dealer is pretty useless when it comes to knowing what risers will work without changing cables. They like to sell extra cables and charge extra hours for what should be a simple install. I've changed risers or added spacers myself to the last few bikes I've had and each time the dealer tried to up sell me when I asked them what was needed. I just do it myself and have saved hundreds of dollars in labor and have yet to have to buy any new cables.

For my Heritage, I ended up ordering 2" spacers from Wild 1 for under $50 and am hopeful that I can install those without requiring any new cables. In the past I have found that you can go up at least 2" in rise with the stock cables. If that doesn't work on the Heritage I'll try 1" spacers since I'm just looking for a little more height from the stock bars.

I have a 2011 Heritage, and used the risers from a Deluxe. No issues with installation, and had plenty of slack in the stock cables. I eventually took them off and replaced with 16" apes.

I also put deluxe risers, on my '08; I had to unclip the throttle cables from the bracket underneath the tank to gain a little extra length, but no problems. The deluxe risers are really nice and heavy, much nicer than any other riser I could find.
