Default Riser question
I have a 2005 883 low...stock handlebars and stock cables... originally i wanted some mini apes but id have to buy new cables also and then figure out how to put the new cables on.. which i heard can be a pain.. so im thinking about going with a drag bar.. my question is what are the highest sized risers you can put on an 883 with a 1" drag bar and not have to swap out cables.. and also i loosened my speedometer up and pulled up on it to see how high i could get it.. about 3 1/2".. any thoughts?

Don't know about the drag bars....but 4" is tall as you can go with stock bars. You will have to fish some wire from here and there tho.....
