Pullback risers for Fatboy

Roklock · Feb 22nd, 2009, 05:32 PM

Hi,

Was wondering if anybody knows how much slack is in the cable and wiring? If not maybe a way to figure it out? Bike is a 2009 Fatboy.

Want to try this first before exploring the $800-$1000 for new handle bars and cables.

Thanks,

Steve

You can figure about 2 inches over stock with out and changes

I have an 08 Fatboy and just put the HD drag bars with the 7 in risers. I actually had about 1-2 in of slack in the stock cables. I went with the magnum chromelite cables. If you are going to go with drag bars from Harley, I recommend that you get on Harleys website and look up the drag bars. Then you can select what yr and model bike you have. It will give you the part number for the braided cables and then when you search that it will give you the length. After looking I relized that they are the lengths for a nightrain. They fit perfect and the bars feel great.
