I have a 06' Fboy and love it, but feel the stock handle bars are too far foward and down for my comfort. Does anybody here know what type of pullback risers would work with my stock Fboy bars that would keep all stock cables, wires, and would have no clearance issues on turning radius? Thanks in advance.

| the first thing to check is how far back and up you need to go...then check if there is enough slack to accomodate your needs. i am going to venture a guess that there will not be enough slack to meet your needs. installing new cables and wiring is a small chore, but can be done if you are willing to take your time to do it right.......could be a fun project!!!!

| Thanks Chuck, I've seen somewhere on another site that a 4.5" pullback riser worked with the stock Fboy bars? Sounds like I'll be measuring this coming weekend though... Like the bars, if I can get it back somewhat, if not, I'll go with Wild one bars instead... Will let you guys/gals know if I can come up with the appropriate risers??? | |

| OK, I want to go about two inches back and 2-4 inches up... What riser would work that could come closest to this without having to replace the stock cables/wires? | |

KAMAKAZI,
Have you tried sitting on a SOFTAIL "STANDARD",they use a bar very similar to yours with the addition of 4" "pull-back" risers.It might save you time & $$ to try it out first(just a thought).(IMO)Personally,I like the "CHUBBY" WILD1,INC. bars-they fit well & have good quality chrome.RIDE-ON!, 00-WILDGLIDE.  | |

| According to my sources, there is enough slack in the cables to place 4" pullbacks on and still utilize the stock hardware. | |

When you guys changed your bars to "wild-ones", was there one that you were able to utilize the stock risers, cables, wires, brake lines? I just got this thing and soooo far I've dumped another $1500 already into it! I should buy stocks in HD the way I'm going...
Oh yea, he also said that my stock turn signals would hit the tank/console... Please advise, I'm running out of Mullaaaa!!!  | |

| He said basically to either get new bars with the same end rise as stock or replace the cables/brake lines/ extend wires... I really don't think (in my mind) he knew what the f^&k he was talking about! I've read on many sites that Fboy stock bars will work with the 4.5" risers but would have to modify the brake line by straightening the tube out a bit... For all this type of trouble, I think it would be best just to get new bars, but for now, I'm sticking with the stock set-up. | |

KAMAKAZI,
If it's just a brake line & some turn-signal relocating...sounds fairly easy,Maybe
try an "AFTERMARKET" shop in your area to help you out.Sometimes the dealer parts people try to give too much lateral support to their service department resulting in scaring off their over the counter customers.Hope all works out! | |

The brake line off a Heritage will fit your purposes and if talk to the service manager you might be able to score a new take off part from one of the bikes they put braided lines on. The worst thing that can happen is they tell you no. You can usually get the new take offs for less than half price. At least at my dealership you can. | |

| 00, I think our right, I also talked with Wild-One reps and they say the same thing with the risers and some of their after market bars. Man, after all the money I spent on them and they try to talk me out of doing it... What a disappointment...except the bike of course  | |
