Anybody try these Baron kickback risers on a standard/tourer?

Did you have to re-route cables? Or use an Interstate switch housing?
I tried a set of Rox 2" risers but throttle cables would bind.

I put these on nearly 10 years ago: https://www.amazon.com/Show-Chrome-Accessories-55-304X-Handlebar/dp/B001AWM4BA
Somewhat less pull back than the ones you linked, but otherwise, very similar. While the cables are a bit tight, I didn't have to do any more than re-arrange them a bit.

Most any 4" risers will work with no mods other than maybe rerouting or turning wire clips around.

The Harley Deuce risers are 5.5", and I have them on one of my bikes (bought it with them) and I'm pretty sure longer cables were added.  They are my favorites.

The amount of "pullback"' on stock bars is @ 14" thus no excessive slack for taller risers. I replaced my stock bars with a 8.5" height, 34" wide and 7" of pullback and in turn I got plenty of slack due to the pullback. Not saying to switch bars but just a example of what the pullback spec can do to influence the fitment. This happened 2x on the VT1100C Spirit and the Valkyrie using these bars and in return greatly improved low speed handling on both bikes because of the "buckhorn" style wrist placement sucks. I'm a 5'11" normal build person.

Here's a listing for stock MC handlebars.

J&P replacement bars, the chrome was much better than 1st. set I bought for the Spirit and now have internal passages/crimped at the corners. Very solid set of bars. The stock risers covered the knurl also compared to the skinnier VT1100C risers.
