Default 4" pullback riser on 2012 Fatoy
I am looking to get my handlebars back and up and I see Harley has a 4" up and back risers for the 1.25" handlebars. My question is will I have enough slack in the clutch and throttle cables and brake line and electrical cables to install the 4" risers on my 2012 Fatboy?

For the 4" pullbacks you will have enough.

I installed the same risers on my 2012 Fatboy. No problems at all. You should be aware that it doesn't get the bars up or back very much. It's a subtle difference.

Just looking for the bars to come back a bit and up just a bit. The stock risers are just a slight bit too short and forward for me.
