thanks to NORTHERNFXLRS and CHRISHO fot the infos about the risers, they look fine and have a good pull back...
I receive my 5.5" pull back risers tuesday, will see how they fit for me, if it's not enough I will order the same as yours...
about your air-fuel mixture NORTHERNFXLRS, I think it's too lean...
5.5 will be nice on the cables and wiring. No stretching than.
touch lean yup. Not to far up the chart though.
Shoutout to @FranBunnyFFXII for videos to pick up dropped bike solo. Worked great this weekend, when I dropped my Heritage after moving it due to the "jiffy stand" i.e. kickstand coming out of detent after moving. Walked it right back up so fast I almost went over the other way!
Unfortunately, my new, wider windshield is too wide for the engine guards to protect it and I scratched the **** out of the edge. Onto repairing. My members are right to replace that damned long kickstand?
How do you find the speedo now is it too tilted back to read probably?
Ya was hard to read without moving your head to much. Was past vertical. They warn you about it when buying the 2” pullback risers.
Ive since swapped the top plate and added a hairycustoms gauge mount.

Looks good I'm waiting on a Thrashing supplies 9.5" pull back risers, flat bars and speedo bracket along with cable and wiring extensions, which gets pretty pricey when importing to New Zealand (like everything)
I received my risers today, 5.5" high and 1" pull back from Drag Specialities, the two screws and the dampeners from Arlen Ness...
as soon as they're in, as soon as they're out...
not a big deal with the wires, just loose the brake hose a bit to turn it into a good position and re-routed the cable clutch ...
not a big change in photos, but a real change in statics, my arms are less tense and a straighter chest...
to be confirmed on the road...
I replaced the stock rear rotor with a Ness rotor that more closely matches my front Ness Big Brake rotor. I can't stand that HD puts mis-matched rotors on these bikes from the factory either.
My air filter has been needing a “recharge” so I pulled it and noticed a good amount of oil pooled at the bottom of the intake. The bike has been spraying a small amount of oil on the exhaust for a while now and I always thought it was from the filter being over oiled but I guess I have a blowby issue because when I checked the dipstick it was nearly bone dry. Going to make a catch can setup in a few weeks and see if that helps but for now I’m grabbing another quart of oil from the dealer tomorrow.
Probably going to design a bracket for my spring seat as well. That’s been long overdue.
I Had a lot of blowby on my 2018 Heritage, especially when I was pulling hard on the highway, my right saddlebag, side cover and exhaust was sprayed with a mixture of oil vapor, but my oil level was always stable, never needed to refill...
now I think I still have the same problem, but I don't see anymore as I have connected 2 hoses directly to the vents that send oil vapors from under the engine onto the road (I know it's bad lol) and now my air filter stays clean...
Perhaps one day I will change the oil pump with an upgraded one from after 2020...
Don't have the problem on my 2020 LRS...
You can see my mods on the 5296 post in this topic...
the LRS is now almost comfortable, I say almost because the front is still firm and it is not a Öhlins, it's a basic Harley shock, but the rear is now more plush on the bad roads and it's more pleasure to ride, a good investment to begin, and I don't know why but the fact that the rear end of the bike is higher makes me feel more at ease on the machine...
