Question Max. Pullback Risers (while using stock cables)

Want to get as much pullback as I can on my '09 XL1200C
Any folk here have good results with "Pullback Risers" on their Sporty XL1200C?
I want to be able to retain the stock cables (just install the risers).
Links to suggestions for the above would be great

What are you going to do with your Speedo?

Question Duh (I can't believe I didn't even realize the Speedo issue)...

I don't want to attempt a speedo relocation. I guess that means if I want more "Pullback" it has to be via a handlebar replacement.
OK what handlebars would allow me to use the stock cables but provide me with maximum additional "Pullback"?
Thanks!

I ran a set of Wild 1"s that had 14.5" or pullback and were 32" wide with stock cables just fine. I ran the wires internally too. I had to rotate the banjo bolt on the brake, but that was it. This was on an 05 883L carbed version.

I'm running 5.5inch pullback risers, 27in drag bars, fishboy top clamp, and stock wiring. I'm also running speedo relocation clamp so i had tocut the weather wrap on wiring harness to seperate speedo wiring from the idiot light wiring. I dont have any issues of stretching the wiring harness, but thats 5.5in is about it.
