Turkeyrun, I'll post pics soon.

Wolfydude, I originally put some low flat bars on and had turn signal issues. I took them off and put the lowrider bars on mostly because the low flats were wearing out my short stubbies. I don't "have" to relocate anything with the lowrider bars "but" I am going to use the Kuryakan 49mm fork clamps to move the turn signals and I'm going to get a braided steel brake cable as well.

Thanks,
Rick

Hey - I'd really like to see some pics of this when ya get a chance!
I've got 4.5" pullback risers on my '07 FXDC. Had no problems with the install and retained the stock wires/cables. I did have to gently bend the tube portion of the brake line. I'll post some closeup photos in the morning.

UPDATE,
I have just fitted 3 1/2 straight risers to my 2007 fxdc, standard cables worked perfect with these risers.the 3 1/2 risers look nice with the 2" raised tank.
I followed Critter174 instruction as above and everything worked out perfect.
Cheers Critter174

your welcome. before i was told how to do it i replaced the bushings from with some better ones tighten every thing down and the dang things were still crooked boy was i pissed. you out to have seen me a friend trying to twist them to get them straight while the other was tighten them up looked like dumb and dumber then somebody on here told me the correct way to do it and they went straight with no problem. you should check the bolts under the forks after a few hundred miles i ended up with avibration after a couple of weeks and found out that they had worked them selves loose just enough to cause the vib. later

If it's a left to right alignment issue (as opposed to up/down or front/back), an alternate method that worked just fine for me was to tighten the riser bolts to the triple tree according to the torque specs, install bars and then loosely tighten the bar clamp to the risers, yank and hold pressure on the bars to how you want them, then tighten bar clamp bolts alternating between the two risers. A little easier with a third hand, but can be done on your own.
