Default Riser for Iron Bars?

Hello All,

Just bought my wife a 2010 Iron last thursday...She is in love with this bike and has been riding everyday... I have been watching her closely and I noticed that she is a little hunched over and her arms are almost fully extended as shes riding. Can anyone tell me if there is a pull back riser made for this model? I was thinking about 4 inches would be about right to give her a more comfortable riding position.

I was also definately wanting to lower it at least an inch in the back.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. JB

Well as far as lowering the back end an inch. The stock shocks are 11" so you could pick up a set of 10" shocks from lick's cycles. They are pretty stiff from what i hear though due to the decreased fender clearance. As far as risers go i'm pretty sure anything will work as long as they allow you to reuse the OEM top clamp since it has the speedo in it. Just take a look in the Harley P&A book. They have all kinds of lengths.

I have the HD 4" cure risers on my bike with drag bars and I love it. When I had them with the stock bars i could almsot lean way back and I'm only 5'8".
