Default Are these stock Fatboy risers?

Does anyone recognize these fat risers? Are they stock on an 05 or earlier Fatboy? I'm trying to find a set. Thanks!

Nope not stock. The stock Fatboy riders 06 and older are a 3 piece system with a single top clamp and a 2 piece riser part. They don't appear to by stock HD to me though because they top clamp bolts are in line, most of HD's risers use an offset type of top clamp. Sorry I couldn't help you more.

Thanks Chris. That's actually a big help.

billfitt - Hey, what a nice gesture. Are these for 1 1/4 inch bars? I have fat apes that don't taper at the clamp area, so I'm looking for short risers that fit 1 1/4" bars.

If your using apes, you will definatley want a one piece top clamp. They are much stronger than the 2 piece design. Also make sure you spring for the polly bushings as well. They will keep your bars from cracking. Trust me they are a cheep way to keep your bars nice for a long time.

I think the FAT bars only came on the 08 and maybe the 07. All previous is a standard 1" Bar. So you need to look for newer take-offs.

Thanks everyone for the advice and help. I'd love to get a one-piece top clamp for my 1 1/4" apes, but I've looked everywhere, and can't find anyone who makes them. I've even thought about having a 1" top clamp machined to 1 1/4", but I don't know whether there's enough meat to do that without weakening the clamp. Also itmight mess up the chrome. I already installed poly bushings and chrome bolts.
