Pullback risers

I've been lookin around the forums and I can't seem to get any pics of an iron 883 with 6.5" pullback risers. I am 5'8 but my reach is pretty short so I really hunch to grab the stock bars. I asked at the dealer, prob the wrong way to go, and they said a 6.5" pullback riser would really help me be more upright. But then I'd have I have them put all new wiring in as well which is gonna cost me cause I can't do it myself. So I'm hoping someone has a pic of their iron with 6.5's installed. Just want to make sure it doesn't look stupid. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

I don't think you'd need new wiring. I put 8.5" risers on without rewiring. Granted mine was a C model so my wiring was a little longer to begin with

Thanks guys. The bar is just the stock handle bar, the drag style bar. Does anyone have any pics of the bike with the risers on? Thanks!

Reason I asked is I have seen these bikes stock with two different type bars installed... http://www.harley-davidson.com/en_US.../iron-883.html

Yeah that's the one I have, those bars in the link you pasted are my bars. But I want them closer to my body, so I'm trying to figure out if a 6.5" pullback riser will help that. Thanks.

You might want to find a good bike shop in your area or a buddy who is a mechanic if you cannot do the work yourself. As far as comfort, have you looked at any other options then a different riser? Maybe a reduced reach seat, or taller bars?
