Default Low Rider Risers

Looking for a little more rise and a little more pull back and want to keep the indicator cluster. Any ideas and availabilities?? Isn't the OEM risers 4"??

I know mine were stock at 4" and straight on a 2002..Kept my bars and put 6 1/2" riser w/pullback...like the feel and reach. The biggest plus was not having to mess with the bars,cables and grips....I can post some pics tonight.

If you add more rise it will give you more pull back. It just depends on how much more pull back you need.

OK, I need splaining here, I'm not the sharpest pencil in the box, but If I raise the bars on the same horizontal plane they sit, how does it effect the pull back?

Because the risers are not vertical,the higher you raise them,the more "pull back" you get.

Exactly

The risers follow the angle of your front end which is angled towards you. So the higher the rise the closer it brings the bars to you as well.

Like I said if you need alot of extra pull back it may not be enough but if only need a 1 or 2 inchs you could probally get it from just some extra rise.
