Default which pullback risers fit an otherwise stock iron?

2010 iron.

i need to know which pullback risers i can use and get away with using stock cables/wires. i know i will need to rebend the hard brake-line but thats no biggie.
edit: no tank lift, and the speedo is already relocated with original barclamp cut/filled.

i was thinking of these @ 1" pullback and 3.5" total:

or a smaller set @ 2.5" total:

i need suggestions/advice.
thanx

With carbed Sportsters you could easily get up to a 4 inch riser and be able to accumulate enough wire/cables from other areas to make them work.

Can't tell you about FI bikes cause I wont waste my time with them.

Are you re-using the stock bars? I know I used 5.5" pullback risers on my old Iron but I had drag bars. All cables fit fine.

I'm not sure if your cables and such will fit with much of a rise at all, especially if you are using the stock bars with pullback risers. There really isn't much room to work with.

modular.
how'd that flyscreen work out? noticeable reduction in wind?

the risers:
i went out and floated the fully equipped bars over the spot where they'd be with the risers (i cut a fake, flat riser from aluminum sheet i had).

with the brake line routing clamps off i could just pull the bars back where they needed to be... wires!
it looks like if i ran the wires so that they do not go through the trees before they go up to the bars i'd have more than plenty.
the throttle cables seemed fine and so did the clutch cable.

problem is that the bar looks like it is just touching the tank (with my improvised fake riser).

50/50 chance it'll all work out.............................

I have the buckhorn bars on my 2003 sportster,,and i put the 3 1/2 risers with 1 1/2 pull back, on mine ,, with out replacing the cables,,i think I could have went to 4 1/2 risers an still been ok,,but that would have been pushing it,,,it really depends on what bars you have on there now
