Default Clarity on Upper Tree swap?

New to the Dyna world, and found myself in the same predicament as others I've been reading about. I've got a 2012 Street Bob and want to swap out the top tree to use standard type risers. What years will work? Is it only the 08-12 that had the BS integrated set-up? I need to know what years would work on the 2012.
I did read about 06-07 Super Glide.
thanks for the help

Risers are pretty generic,, put on what you want.

Not risers , which upper trees years can I use instead of the stock 2012 that have the integrated set-up.

I would imagine that any risers with your fork dia. [e.g. 49mm ]should work...b.

Jeeeeeeezzzz!
The 2012 upper tree has integrated risers-which just suck! I'm trying to use a different top triple tree so that I can run a lot of different type of risers-all the standard type.
Trying to learn what all year/types (of Top trees) will work on my 12 street Bob?

Don't know about other years being interchangeable, but here is a company that makes the top triple tree for the 08 - 12 SB for use with standard risers. They also make risers for use with the stock top triple tree.

LOL... I looked up the stock part numbers, and the tree(s) on the DB from 08-12 are different than any other setup. You could probably order a top tree for either a FXDC, or a newer FXDB.

Yea, Ive seen those extensions but their pretty ugly. I have tried to contact them about the upper tree but haven't heard back yet.
I read that the 06-07 SB tree would work, as well as the 06-10 Superglide trees?
