Handlebar Risers

I want to put a set of 4 1/2" risers with a 1 1/2" pullback on my 2008 Sportster XL 883 Does anyone know if I will have to change any cables, lines ,or wires. Seller of the risers says i wont have to change any thing, but front brake line looks short

Inspector,

What size are you current risers? If they're the same length & you're just adding pull back you won't have any problems.

i went to the dealer yesterday lookin to do the same thing. i have an 07 nightster, he told me the only thing i would need to change is the brake line if i still want to use the stock bars. if i went with a drag bar i wouldnt have to change anything

I put the same ones on my '06 1200l today. No problem. The only thing I had to do was loosen the tank and slide the wiring harness forward a bit. What a difference.
