Hey Fifty Yet,
I have the Areomach risers. Paulo at Hellrisers told me that the 2" up, 1 1/2" back would be all I should go without changing cables. I installed them without any other changes. You may want to moved your brake cable behind the tubes if you like your bars back a lot.
So, if you go 2" up 1 1/2" back, or 1 1/2" up and 2" back you should be OK.

So you did not have to get different cables right? the stock ones were long enough? Thanks, Fifty Yet

Hey Fifty Yet,
If you were talking to me, I have the 2" up and 1 1/2" back, and I did not have to get longer cables. The stock ones were long enough.

Edit: You can see a close up of the Aeromach risers 2" up and 1 1/2" back at this link.
My brake cable is now behind my tubes because of my fairing.
I did not have to do this for the risers to work.

Yes I am looking at a pair on Ebay for 59.00 plus shipping. They say they are 4" long so I am trying to find out from them what the rise is and pullback. Great price and look good. From chromeplace. Fifty Yet

Hey Fifty Yet,

Usually when they say 4"up, It means 2" up over stock. 2" up over stock is OK to use stock cables.
Ask them to be sure which measuements they are quoting.

I used the 4"2bach with tach by barons. I used the same cables and lines and now have a tach( which was on the bucket list any way. I think it was around 2 bill last year. I think you will like the improved riding position.
