I think this would apply to an '08 as well. I'm looking to add a pullback riser to the bars of a fatboy when I purchase in Oct. I would like to do this at purchase but I'm having a really hard time finding risers that are listed for the fatboy stock bars. Does anyone know or have a link to somewhere I can buy some? I'm looking for maybe a couple of inces up and couple back.

Also, some risers I find mention the bar width. What is the width on a fatboy bar?

Any links to what I'm talking about would be GREATLY appricated!! THANK!

w00t! Long post!!!

 

good luck!!

it seems we've bought a red headed step-child when it come to risers. the stock 1 1/4" handlebars look cool - except no one makes risers in that size.

for now, you're stuck with the stock risers, or you change the bars too.

 

Man, that's what it was looking like to me too! ...I thought I just wasn't looking in the right place. ...oh well, that Street Slammer bar is looking good though! Ya know, I'll prolly just get used to stock and tweak from there.

Thanks for handlebar info!

EDIT: Would these work? - http://www.dragspecialties.com/fatbook/14/255/5912733 or http://www.dragspecialties.com/fatbook/14/255/5912652

 

Can anyone please tell me if those risers above would work on a fatboy stock handlebar?

 

The link says "Fit any handlebars that have a 1” diameter in the clamping area "

My 08 FatBoy has 1.25" in the clamping area ....So I guess they won't work.....Wish they did though. Sorry.

 

The second link might work though, it says "Allow you to install LA Choppers handlebars or other handlebars with a 1 1/4” diameter clamping area."

How much of a rise can you go with stock cables and lines? I might have to give these a shot on my 08.

 

How about the risers from a FXDWG or other HD bike with 1.25" bars?

 

I don't think those bikes use true 1 1/4" bars. they step down to 1" in the clamping area.

not sure if the stock cables will work with anything over a 4" rise... but, it would sure be worth the call.

 

I have learned the hard way to read these ads very carefully. Bottom line (for me) is that no one (yet) is making pull-back risers for the true 1 1/4" diameter handlebars.

I'm looking for an inch or two taller, and maybe two inches back. I think stock cables will handle that.

 

I bought some 4 1/2 rise 1 1/2 pullbacks for $40 from JP Cycles for my 02 that has 1 inch bars and it does hit the sweet spot. Somebody could make some serious money if they made them for 07 & 08's.
