anyone put pullback risers on their bike?
I just put on the 4.5 tank and a new brawler seat, the bike is looking good but I am now a little farther back on the bike. My dh thinks that I should put on some pull back risers. I see some 4 inch with a 1.5 pull back and some with a 2 inch pull back,, I am wondering what they will look like and if anyone has them and likes them. Will we need to change the cables? my dh thinks it will be fine.. hmmm. I am hoping to also put on one of those cool looking chrome speedos that are on the inside of the bars instead of the outer side and I would def have to have risers so that it will not hit the tank... I am addicted,, I cant stop spending money on upgrades, I got to sell off my child I think..

I put 3" with 2" pull back,s on a '03 I used to have .No cable change necessary May have to bend the brake line a bit,but this was on a '03.The throttle cable may have to be put on top of the ignition switch,but I have not seen how the newer models are set up..You will like it and It will give a Dyna look.But beware,the factory riser bolts are"in There" and are a bitch to get out without a lot of muscle.

Are you talking about adding an additional 4" riser to the stock riser?
Interesting, and it would definitely pull the bar back closer to the rider....

Never say never, as just about anything is possible with the right fabrication... 
It's not 4 inches, but I know that you can put a 1" spacer under the stock "C" riser without any problems..
Guy that added 18 degrees to his rake had to do that to keep the speedo off the tank. A half inch spacer would have worked fine, but he wanted to bring it up a little higher.
He just had a spacer fabricated and plated so it matched the bottom of the stock riser...

I just bought some pullback risers for mine on ebay, and I am waiting for them to get here from California. I moved my gauges to the eyebrow, and I am going to run internal wiring through the handlebars. I hope it turns out ok. I really wanted straight risers, but these were $15 shipped.
