Default 2011 Wide Glide pivoting riser ?

Hey all,
thinking about this riser extension, not sure if the clamp area of my bars is 1" or 1 1/4". Anyone know offhand ?
Thanks !

The more I look at them, I'm not sure. I'd like to get a set of 10" apes, and 1" risers - but I don't want to go through the hassle of changing the cables and bars only to find they're not comfortable for me.
i have shoulder issues and want to bring them back to a comfortable position. I already have 1.5" riser extensions under the stockers. I haven't been able to find a pullback riser that'll do what I'm aiming to.

I've got nothing to add regarding your riser question. I just wanted to say that the 2011 Wide Glide you have has my favorite factory paint ever. I always keep my eye open for one of those but I never seem to find one.

Mine are much shorter and the bars are low, but I have a set of adjustable Rox risers on my Triumph Speed Triple. They're really nicely made, and (as advertised) they're super adjustable. I've had them for several years, no problems of any sort.

I really wanted the 2012 with the blue and gray paint scheme, and the 103. I saw this bike online and it really caught my attention. I bought it. Then, Sheldon's Harley right down the road from me had the same exact bike. And I've seen one other in CT. It's pretty rare. I love the bike ! Now I'm glad I didn't go with my first thought. Thank you !

Rox risers are a high-quality item. I used them on my Triumph Tiger 800, and I know a number of others who use them as well. Rox is a pretty well known brand for Adv bikes. I'm not sure I'd like the look on a Harley, though.
