Default Risers for 2016 Fat Boy Lo.

I am new to the riding world. I've only been riding about 1 1/2 years and am in the maintenance and upgrade phase now. I am looking for risers for a 2016 Fat Boy Lo. I like the stock bars I got but want to raise them and pull back slightly to be a bit more comfortable. I was looking into a 4" or 6" rise with at least a 1 " pullback but would like to do it without altering or changing cables or wiring. Plus I have a Memphis Shades Bullet Fairing installed but don't know if the 6" would clear the fairing. I would appreciate all input because I am leery about getting anything and then nothing working like it should. Help.

Not sure about your 16 but on my 15 FB I put 6" risers on and had to buy a new front brake cable.

I purchased DK customs 2" riser spacers for my 16 S and they are to tall for the stock cables going to makes a set of 1" for now until I feel like changing the cables.

If I remember correctly, the 4" curved was the max I could go before new cables. Dealer said even those were a bitch, the cables were barely long enough on My 13 Lo.

Thanks FatKen, I don't have any current pics of my bike with the fairing on but when I have it I'll post it. Judging by the pic of your bike we have the exact same fairing setup.

Thanks everyone for the info. From some other posts on different forums I've read the 4 inch is a hit or miss with the brake cable. Some people made it work, others couldn't. With the 6 inch definitely need cables.

What's the part number for the heavy breather you have on your lo? I didn't think we could get one like that for our bikes.
