Default Riser question

I am looking to put some 4 or 4.5 inch pull back risers on my 2004 883XL. I can get some that came off a 2002 (4"). Will these work? Also need to know if I will have to dork with the brake line, cables, wires, etc.

Thanks for the help.

If they are HD risers, yes they will work. I put 6" HD risers from I don't know what year on my Nightster and they fit perfectly. You won't have to extend the brake lines, clutch cble and throttle that much, but you may have to extend the wires leading to your speedo/odometer.
