Not sure if anyone else has seen this or not, I think I've talked myself into apes now.

Yes, I did have to change the cables.

Pics? Pics? OK you'll get pics. Oh and yes, you'll need new cables.

Thanks Aviator for the part number. I wrote it down so I have it.

I have a new Mustang 17.5" Wide Studded Solo with Driver Backrest coming in a week or so, so I'm gonna hold off ordering those risers for now. Wanna find out how well the new seat works out with the stock risers, but I expect to be ordering some next week.

I called 2 dealers this morning....one didn't stock the part and the other was out of stock on it with none on order. Was hoping to find a set to look at before I ordered.

Great find Aviator, these look perfect if they'll get the handle bars back at least 1". Same sort of questions, will we have to change cables? And some new ones, these things look kinda low, wonder if they'll hit the instrument panel on a FB when the handle bars are turned all the way right or left? And, description says " Installation also may affect fitment of handlebar-mounted instruments", so, makes me think handlebar mounted turn signals will hit the tank. Who's gonna be the hero and answer all our questions .

Ahh, and here's the 6" ones: 56267-09

actually, I got this from another post by Blues Rocker.

usually the HD catalogue will say "cables and wires may need to be replaced", this ad doesn't. could that mean they don't need replacing? I don't know. also, HD sells a turn signal kit that snugs the turn signal up closer to the handlebars - I just can't find the number or the part in the catalogue - but, I helped my mechanic install a set on a Sporty where the signals were hitting the tank. after installation - plenty of clearance. seemed that cost about $65 or so.

I'm gonna check them out.... just not now. I'm moving back to TEXAS in a couple of weeks and really don't have the time or money to do it right now.

Well, for better or worse I just ordered a set of the part # 56269-09 risers. Guess we will find out in a few days if they work or not.

As my dad used to say "What time of night did you come up with that idea?"

Got them from Zanotti for $129.88 shipped.
