Hey guys I've got a 2014 FXDF and I would like to add some Riser spacers or new risers to get the bars up a little higher and by proxy a little closer for when I'm stretched out cruising. Most of the threads I've found are a bit dated and recommend Spacer Jims spacers but he's no longer in the biz. Anyone have any suggestions? I really don't want to go any higher than the stock cables and wires will allow.
DK Custom Products offers 'fat' riser extensions in 1", 2", and 3" lengths, they're 1.5" in diameter and will fit the #59783-08 risers found on your Fat Bob. The riser extensions will bring your bars up and rearward and the extensions ship with the proper length grade 8 bolts to replace the stock riser bolts.
These are 2" riser extensions on a Wide Glide running the same #59783-08 risers as your Fat Bob, still running the stock clutch and throttle cables, brake line, and wiring
Thanks. I saw those while doing some research. I was worried the stock cables might not be long enough. I may just be the Guinea pig on those if no one with fat Bob chimes in!
The 2 inch riser extensions won't be a problem. I have the 3 inch on my Wide Glide and my father-in-law has 2 inch on his Fat Bob. There is still a little extra wiggle room on his. DK stuff is great.

another +1 on the dk extensions, threw a set of 2" ones under my 8" risers as a more cost effective way to get my bars where i wanted them. height is perfect now and definitely a very solid product. i pull back on my bars a lot, for various reasons, and no issues whatsoever.
