Pull back risers
So is anybody using the 6" pull backs with the stock bars that come on a FLSFB? My arms aren't quite long enough and my legs just a tad too long for everything to fit the current setup. It's not real bad but I thought those might help without getting too deep in the pocket. It's a 2014 and I kinda like the bars not to mention I'm broke for the next 5 years now 'till she's paid off.

I've got a 2012 Fatboy Lo with ABS and I've had the 6 inch HD risers on for about 15,000 miles with no issues. The brake cable is really the only one that is really that tight but I haven't had any issues and the bars will still turn all the way from lock to lock. I had the dealer do the work so since they didn't take advantage of the opportunity to get me for a bunch of labor and cables I'm guessing I'll be fine for a lot more miles.

My wife is 5 foot nothing so she needed more than the risers. Also got her the reduced reach seat and reduced reach brake pedal. She's much more comfortable and confident on the bike now that it fits her better.
Brake line was definitely the limiting factor on the risers. I don't think her's would have been long enough for the 6" risers but I guess it is possible based on Fatbob's post.
