Default Anyone making risers for 08 fatboy yet?

Has anyone found aftermarket risers for the&nbsp\\; 08 fatboy 1 1/4&nbsp\\; handle bars yet?&nbsp\\; Still waiting.&nbsp\\; I have a machine shop but no means of plating.&nbsp\\; Could build my own.&nbsp\\; Just keep hoping someone will come up with a set.&nbsp\\; Who would be interested in buying a set if I could produce something nice.&nbsp\\; Say maybe 2 - 4 up and 2" back.&nbsp\\; Could probably still use the stock wires and cables with 2 up and 2 back.&nbsp\\; Would have to check price of chroming not even sure i want to fool with it. Give me your source for the risers or your input on your interest in purchasing and reasonable cost.

I've been looking since last September, allbeit - off &amp\\; on, for risers for my '08 FatBoy too. NOTHING. what would you think of making them out of aluminum and polishing? I'd be interested if the price wasn't too high.

I am watching for them too!&nbsp\\; 2 up and 2 back is exactly what I'm looking fo too!!!!!&nbsp\\; I keep my fingers crossed for manufacturers to see enough demand to tool-up for these.

Add me to the list too. Don't really want to change my bars, I like them, just move them a little.

I could be wrong, but you should be able to use risers made for 2007 Fatboys. Should be the exact same triple tree.

Call up the guys at wild1&nbsp\\; www.wild1inc.com and see if they have anything to fit our bikes. Personally going with 14" apes with their adapter for stock risers so I wont be needing new risers.
