Default 2016 roadster 3.5 inch pullback riser question

Does anyone know or has anyone installed a riser on their roadster? I don't want to switch brake hoses and cables out. I found a 3.5 inch pullback I'd like to order. Guys at Harley think it should be ok. Does anyone know if this will work without new cables?

Don't think they will work, not necessarily the cables, but the risors mating to the top plate. I had ordered new risors that fit Harley's typically and they did not match up.

I put 12" apes on my Dyna and ordered cables to match that were four inches too long. I would swap my 3 1/2 chrome risers for your risers. Mine are sweptback and nice chromed. Look real good. Thats why I didn't replace them. I like the low ape look.
