Default Franken-Bike Street Bob

I picked up a used 2009 SB a couple weeks ago and I have realized I may have bought a Franken-bike.

I'm new to Dyna's but wouldn't a FXDB have the integrated risers in them?

Here is a pic of the triple trees.

The top tree looks like the one on my FXDC.
If the diagram is correct, the 09 didn't have built in risers, but one like mine.... Site won't let me post fiche url. Click on link below and go to parts finder, and your year and model, and click on front suspension fork assembly... tp

Looks right to me. Looks like they just deleted the risers for those bars

Thanks. I looked at the fiche and you're right no risers.

The 2009 Street Bob absolutely did come stock with integrated riders built into the top clamp...Looks like the person who previously owned the bike swapped out the top tree for an FXD upper clamp, no big deal, common practice....I did the same thing when my bob had the mid glide trees

I guess the link I posted earlier showed an incorrect upper clamp. I looked at other 09 SB's on the interweb, and they all had built in risers. If you like the bars as they are, then all is good. If not, short risers are available all over the web. tp
