Pull back Risers for Iron
#1

Has anyone come across pullback bar risers for a 14, 883 Iron? Just got one for the wife and she doesn't like how far she has to lean over. The bars slightly higher and back would be perfect. Standard risers won't work with the top clamp/instrument mounting as the bolts are in an offset pattern. We thought about the reduced reach seat, but the options are 1/2", not enough, and 3", too much. Plus the seat is $200 and she may not like it. Risers would be the less expensive option to experiment with.

Alpha, I don't think just any standard riser will work, you need something that will work with the factory upper clamp that houses the instruments. It needs to maintain that bolt pattern and the original angle that the speedo sits so that you can still read it and that it won't look funky.

I used a 4.5" pullback riser on mine, I'm not positive mine is the same as yours, but I found a solution to mounting the gauges over on the XLF forum.
Make sure you get round, not oval, risers. Then you can use a couple of clamps to hold the gauges. They are solid, I've been running like this for 2 years.
My cables all worked.

If you want black risers, cancel that order. Get a set of factory risers for a Softail Standard (part #'s 56122-77 left & 56124-77 right). They're the same as the chrome units you ordered, but they're polished Aluminum instead of chrome. It would be real easy to have a powder coater hit the Aluminum risers with some black. You can powder coat chrome, too, but the raw Aluminum might have better longevity. Plus, I imagine the Aluminum risers would be 50 bucks cheaper.
Your speedo will have a near vertical orientation, unless you do something different with the speedo/dummy lights.
EDIT: I remembered I have a set of those risers (the Aluminum version), brand new in their packages, I'd let go cheap. Say, 50 bucks for the pair, shipped. If you can cancel the other order and you're interested, let me know. If you'd rather, you can email me,

As I recall, it was referred to as the Xena Gauge Mod...
