Risers on 03 Fatboys

I looked thru the archives and understand 4 1/2 inch pullback risers can be put on without cable changes. Here's my question. When I look at risers some are flush on the bottom and some are kind of necked down(counter sunk?) about1/8-1/4 inch. I'm confused looking at the HD parts book even. I want to buy off E-Bay, Harley is nuts on price. $149 for chrome risers is just flat robbery. Some say Heritage Classic are a direct fit(3 1/2 in?) and others say Duece but I think those are 6inch. Any body know for sure? Kike I say, even the HD book is vague on these.

RE: Risers on 03 Fatboys

I bought the 4" rises from HD at $100 because I wanted them now!! Any way I think you will need the flat bottom risers and I did not need any cables, all stock worked with no problem. I did pull the master cylinder loose to reroute the brake line because it was routed around the throttle cables and I wanted it under the cables. You can see in the pic below how the cables where routed.

Thanks Bob. Are those chrome or alluminum and with these it looks like your clamp worked. Right?

The pullback risers make a world of difference for comfort during those long rides..

RE: Risers on 03 Fatboys

The risers are chrome and I used the stock clamp as well. And as OldFenderGuy said the risers make a world of difference in the ride about 45 min into the ride. We went out last weekend for a 200 plus mile ride and I felt great afterwards.
