2020 FXLRS pullback risers
#22
#23
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.
5.5" was max for me to keep stock wires and either re-route Clutch cable or get the next size up to use stock cable routing, a take-off from a stock standard Low Rider FXLR.
I moved the brake line ends (swivel) for a bit more slack but in no way is it being stretched.

the bars look great. Can’t you run the clutch cable threw the triple tree with the added length and why cross over the handle bar?

Indeed, 6.5" puts a stretch on the wires, not a good idea.

I installed the 6.5" Drag Specialties pullback risers (same as video above) in about 30 minutes earlier this week.
The ONLY two adjustments I had to make were to the banjo bolt on the brake master cylinder, to rotate it down instead of forward, giving me about an inch of slack; and I re-routed the clutch line outside the top triple tree, it has plenty of slack there.
I had to gently place the bars over the risers, kind of turning the risers sideways initially to get the bars on (with wires connected), but it was NOT bad, and once in place the wires have about 1/2" deflection at full right lock, telling me they have just about enough slack to not get ripped apart.
5.5" is easier/safer but 6.5" will work fine with stock cables & wires.
Edit: Oh, and for those of us taller/fat guys (6'1" 280lbs), 2" height w/pullback made a WORLD of difference. It really feels like a different bike, inspiring a more confident riding style and even allowing me to travel longer distances. I ripped about 100 miles last night and didn't need to stop for a "hip break" once, where as with the stock risers it was every 40-60 miles I had to stretch due to leaning too far foward.
These effectively changed my mind about forward controls too, making the rider triangle much more comfortable, and it's exactly what I hoped would happen for a $60 investment.
