I have ordered some 4 inch handlebar risers to replace my stock 2 inch risers on my 06 Sportster. Does anyone know if I will have to mess with any of the cables at all, or maybe even have to replace them w/ longer cables?

Thanks,

I'm also interested in this one!

 

Did you also replace or change the bars?

 

I'm only switching out the handlebar risers.

 

I did the 4" curved risers and had to route the throttle cables behind the forks and adjust the front brake hose a bit. After a couple of months I changed them out for some that I made. Raised the bar 1" and back 1 1/2" and like the fit. Put all the cables back to stock.

 

I went from the stock 6" XLC riser to a set of 8" T-bars. I rerouted the throttle to the outside of the fork and I replaced the front brake line with a 40" braided line with chrome connectors ($60).

I ran the wires internally and all the turn signal wires reached. Not a lot of slack, but they didn't require extensions.

 

I added drag bars to my bike and went from 1" to 3.5" risers, and had cables coming out of my ears, way too much left over and had custom cables made. Just my guess here--I think you'll be fine with the brake cable, my Iron one had a lot of slack in it to start with. I think you're going to be tight/very close with the throttle and clutch cables, although if you look down the line where it runs you should be able to determine if there's enough slack to fit.

 

Sorry to kidnapp the thread a little but these T bars look like exactly what I'm looking for for my 07 XL Low. Can I ask what the ride/pull back is like over stock? I'm struggling with my stock bars and am not overly keen on going with hangers...

Many thanks in advance
