Have you completely ruled out the Harley pull back bars with integrated risers. They look like they come back enough for your purpose. Even set up for internal wires. I marked it in my parts catalog, for myself, but can't find the catalog right now.

The bars are definitely 1 1/4" except at the ends where they reduce for the controls.

The stock risers are 5 1/2" tall for a 1 1/4" bar.
Wow. I'm suprised the MOCO did that.

Think how screwed the 08 Street Bob buyers are now having the risers integrated into the triple tree.

Thanks for everyone's input.

I guess I was just looking at risers because if I didn't like them it would be a quick switch back instead of having to rewire bars.

I will check out Hill Country Custom Cycles that jefx posted.

Do any of you think I would have any problem with clearance by losing a 1/2" in height and moving back?

Good point - why does the MOCO do "stuff" like that?

crazelife: I agree with your change - I only sat on a FB - never rode one - but walked away with the impression that the bar position was less than ideal, and the first thing that I would change - but the MOCO has all kinds of ergonomic experts - so what do I know?
