Default Risers for handlebars

i need to get some risers for my bars on my FLHT they sit to low and away from me kinda makes me hunch over, probally when i installed the new seat do they make any risers for the bars and do i need any mods or cables when installed?

you will need to replace the bars , you can't use risers with a faring bike.
I recommend Krome Werks wide sweapers.
They do require you get a longer clutch cable, I have them on my bike, and I replaced all of the cables because I wanted stainless ones.

Absolutely agree!!! I just installed the +2 KW sweepers on mine, and they are by far the most comfortable bars I've ridden with. Change the clutch cable to +4 and you're done.

The thought of making some custom risers with a custom lower inner fairing cap has crossed my mind more then once.

I agree, you cant use risers on a faring bike. I have 13in Cyclesmith bars but my friend put on 10in bars and didnt need to change any cables
