Need recommendations for pull back risers.

I recently bought an '08 Night Train and would like to install pull back risers on it to make it just a little more comfortable. I need some recommendations. I like the Harley set but they are so much more expensive than a nice, quality aftermarket set. So, let's hear it. Thanks in advance for the replys.

I had a set of 4" pull-back risers put on my XL883 last year. It made a world of difference in the ride position. They came out of a Drag catalog.

I put the billet risers on my 05 NT...They are the taller ones with the slots in the risers...Look too cool. Then I put a set of Deluxe handlebars on, had to use the Deluxe throttle cables as the Night Train ones are just a little bit short...It is a VERY comfortable setup...I ride hundreds of miles without feeling crooked up in my neck and shoulders... You can kinda see the the bars in these 2 pics...

I know your not looking for Harley brand but if you change your mind this is what the street slammer's look like installed. Most of the wires are in the tubing so it cleans up the look a little. With these i'm almost sitting strait up, not all the way but better than the dragger bars. Good luck finding some you like!

Are the street slammers ease to install yourself? Those are the exact bars I'm getting for my bike...

The bars are easy, Yes. Getting all the wire's in the bar , No. It's not hard but a little time consuming.
