Default Higher Handlebar Risers On A RoadKing?

Has anyone put on higher riser on their RoadKing?

I have an 08 and the larger tank is pushing me further back from my beach bars...

I have a 2009 RK and installed 4" curved risers, P/N56066-82 A, with handlebar clamp 56567-86B and handle bar cover to replace the stock RK P/N 55854-07. I didn't have to change any cables or brake lines. I have these for sale as I went with 14" WO 572's.

Mac,

It sounds like you have already done what I was thinking. I am on an '09 RKC and need just that little bit of lift and pull. Was it a hard change? Do you have any pics from before you went with the 14s? Do you still have the parts? Any info would be helpful. Thanks!

Sorry, don't have any pics with the risers, but I still have all the parts. The risers brought the bars up about 2" and back about 2". It felt much better than stock and no cable brake line changes are needed.

This guy http://www.spacerjim.com/ can custom make you any size riser you want. Amazing quality and fast service at a fair price. I had him make me a set of 3 inch risers for my Street Slammers on my 07 RKC. Now the most comfortable bars I have ever had on a bike.

Thanks for the parts list! I've been looking for this info for a month! LoL. Did you run wire harness along the risers or through the side holes? Do you still have these parts?
Thanks again!
