Default 2020 FXLRS pullback risers

Looking for some risers that will bring my bars closer to me but keep similar height and not require rewire. Let me know thanks !

I use a 5.5" pullback riser, the wires fit but to keep stock upper clutch cable routing I used a 2" longer cable, also rotated the handlebar back slightly.
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.

I had to get 1/4" shorter bolts from Home Depot for the top cap.

There's a video on YouTube of a guy that did 6.5" pullbacks from Drag Specialties without having to change any cables or wires, just a slight re-route of the clutch. That's the route I'll be going first, then eventually 8-10 depending on how the 6.5 feels.

Found it:

A 6.5" pullback riser is really going to put a stretch on the wiring when the bars are turned to the right.

I have the 4.5 "Drag Specialty risers, they keep the original height and you don't have to mount the longer cables

Based on how my 5.5" feel, I would not hesitate going to 8-10".
