6 inch risers... Anyone use them do they work with stock top clamp?
Description says it will work with stock top clamp but im curious to see if anyone has used these? I would like to raise my bars some without changing much.
Would my stock cables be long enough.. Any help would be great thanks!

Top clamp is not a problem. Cables will probably need to be changed. It really depends in the type of risers and your model of bike. Maybe someone on here has your model with the six inch risers and can give you a definite answer.

Using the stock C clamp will only work with the stock C riser, if your asking if you can use aftermarket or H-D 6" risers with stock clamp??
then NO it won't........... Only way would be to use a stock BT top clamp on 6" risers not the stock C clamp!!

You have a LOW, which is different then the custom.
The CUSTOM Stock clamp is different.
But where are you going to put all your wires ??? They are inside the Custom's Riser Housing....
The pic below is using 5 1/2 in PULLBACK risers with a replacement clamp. No adjustments were made to the cables (As there is plenty of extra coming from the stock bars to the drag bars) You may not have the same luck. There are plenty of the normal stock ones available for very cheap..
or you can spend about 10 bucks and get a chrome one.
