RE: Handlebar Risers on a FatBoy?
try some softail deluxe risers. they're really nice and available on ebay frequently. Keep in mind that you buy the deluxe risers and top clamp because a fatboy clamp won't fit on there.
This may be a good thread to check.....
Does anyone have some stock fatboy risers they'd like to part with? I'd like to try them on my bike.
thanks

RE: Handlebar Risers on a FatBoy?
The risers are great as stated in my earlier post. I do have 2.5 inch risers now with internal wires. You can see a few inches of the black casing on the wires. It does not look bad at all. My risers were cheap off ebay. I was able to still use my handlebar clamp. There were holes in the bottom of the risers where the bolt could come through. I used the exact length bolt and was able to install a chrome accorn not on the bottom. It looks like it belongs there. Hope this helps. Gene

I like the look of the Harley risers but it seems like there are some issues when you use risers instead of a higher set of bars. I'm sure everybody here has seen notes in the Harley accessory pages saying "Does not work with..." and I'm wondering how many things risers keep you from adding later on. It may not be true but I read somewhere that a headlight nacelle won't work with risers, wires are more exposed etc... If risers keep me from adding other accessories later on, I'd like to know about that now.
Does anyone know if you get the same "feel" from another bike's handlebars like a Wide Glide or Street Bob? I haven't sat on a Dyna for a while but they felt pretty good and in pictures, they look like they give you same position as the Fatboy bars with risers. Doing it this way may be about the same cost too ??
