Default Fat Bob Stock Bar Size

Hey all,
Anyone know the stock bar specs for the FXFB/S?

Im looking to replace my bars with roughly 10-12"rise from fork, but I want them about an inch or two narrower than stock, so I would like the stock specs and I can't seem to find them.

I’d be interested in this too, have seen a site that makes 2 and 3 inch riser extensions for stock risers and they state on ABS model you can go 3 inches higher without extending anything, but it doesn’t say what stock height is.

The stock Fat Bob bars are about 33.5" tip to tip. I measured today because the bars I am going to install are 28" tip to tip so they are quite a bit narrower than stock so it will be interesting to get used to.

The stock risers are about 4.5" tall from the fork to the center of the stock bar. The 3" riser extensions put them at about 7.5" of rise. One could probably go to about 8" total rise without changing the upper brake line and upper clutch cable.

I currently have the 3" riser extensions installed. They look great and make the riding position more comfortable. The view in the mirrors is much improved as well and they were a breeze to install. I just want to go a bit taller.
