Default '22 FXBBS Riser Busing

Have any of your guys swapped your bushings on your Street Bob? I want to get rid of all this ugliness, I mean come on Harley WTF?!? I have these solid bushings on my Dyna SOLID RISER BUSHING – BLACK – Speed Merchant (thespeedmerchant.net) and I'm wondering if they'll fit. I've heard the FXBBS has a 2 ended stud on the risers instead of bolts? Any info is appreciated.

Not familiar with the street bob risers but on my lrs I replaced the $hit studs with grade 8 bolts to accommodate my 6.5 risers.

I'm pretty sure you could replace the studs with bolts that would clean that up well. You would want to remove the stud from the riser and measure the total length from the nut to the end and find a bolt the same size so you have enough in the treads of the riser without bottoming out before they are tight.
