I went with Bung King one piece pullback riser, I emailed BK got a quote for a custom 4" and used the original upper clamp. At 4" they could only do 1" pullback but did ask if they can do a little more if they can. I am very happy with the fit and quality with the BK riser. It cost $198, I ride my 2020 FXLRS aggressive so I spared no expense for a well built riser for my piece of mind.

I tried a 3.5" pullback riser but soon decided the taller one felt better. I like the stock handlebar, it was just too far away. I'd say if you got a 4.5" pullback riser everything should fit fine.
let me ask you this, if a 5.5 works with 2 inch longer upper clutch cable(to keep factory routing) and a 4.5 riser will work with factory set up do you think a 5 inch riser would work with factory clutch cable left at original cable lengths and routing?

Ya, those are 5.5", same ones I have, I used the upper clutch cable pt# 37200218 which is stock on the standard Low Rider FXLR, cheap eBay take-off.

Probably not, the Revalator added a 4 inch riser and moved the clutch cable in front of the handlebars. I replaced both my clutch and brake cables for the 4.5 risers and adding the 1 inch extension is still OK. Keep in mind I switched from stock handlebars to Low Rider S handlebars which are also 1 inch, instead of the larger Sport Glide handlebars.

My brain appears to be running a bit slow today.

Installed the drag 5.5 pull back’s. I rerouted clutch cable for now until I find a take off. Thanks for the input old mike! So much better than the stock 4 inch, comfort and look!

Side by side 5.5 v.s 4.

The clutch cable can be routed on the other side of handlebar, the problem will be the brake line, you won't be able to turn the handlebar all the way.

the picture I posted is with the bars full lock left? Plenty of slack in the brake line on the low rider s. Even the guy in the video claims to have enough slack and he did 6.5 riser’s. He did say he had to really tug on the wires to make it work. What bike are you talking about? Clutch cable is rerouted.
