Pullback risers for Fat Bob....Help!
I would like a set of pullback risers for my fat bob but I haven't been able to find any that fit. The dealer told me they are 11/4" bars all the way across so risers for a standerd 1" bar won't fit. I was wondering if anyone here might know where I could check.
I have just joined this forum after reading it the last couple of weeks and wanted to thank everyone for all the great posts and information. I bought a sundowner seat to make my wife more comfortable when we ride along with the riders essential kit. I have rush slip ons on order with high flow and download.
Thanks for any info you have on the risers.

RE: Pullback risers for Fat Bob
When were your Rush mufflers promised? I have some on order for my FatBob & just received notification from FuelMoto that they have been backordered until mid January.

I ordered them last week and was told they were backordered until the 17th or 18th of december. If I have time tomorrow I will call and see if they shipped as scheduled.

RE: Pullback risers for Fat Bob....Help!
I was certain that the Fat Bob had 1 inch bars that tappered up to 1-1/4 between the grips and risers. Kinda like this:
That way you get the fat look of 1-1/4 inch bars with the ability to use standard 1" grips and risers. That's also why it has the fancy clamp that covers the "dead space" between the risers....to hide the 1 inch section.
If I'm right, (which I may not be) then you should be able to use any standard 1" riser.
Take off the riser clamp and see if the bar tapers down to 1"......If you're still uncertain, you could also measure it.

P.S.
crazelife2, if you're looking to get new risers, I'll buy your stock risers and clamp for a decent price! Let me know!

I'm thinking the risers from the SE Deuce should work.

Thanks for all the replies. After riding the bike more with the new seat, sundowner, I don't think the pullbacks will be needed. The seat moves me slightly up and forward.
Grandpawmoses and yesterdayscorn, I ordered my rush balogne cut slip ons with 2" baffles on 12/11, from the hd dealer where I bought the bike, they shipped 12/18 and came in yesterday. I had them put on today along with high flo, download, and 1k service. I am very happy with the sound. The low thump I was hoping for. Sorry to hear you have been waiting so long for yours.[:@] Maybe the dealerships get first orders? I probably paid more for mine, $299, but I got them in less than 2 weeks. Good luck and I hope you get yours soon.
Thanks everyone,
Chris

RE: Pullback risers for Fat Bob....Help!
Ok, call me fickle.[sm=roll.gif] After a few longer rides I am thinking about pullback risers again. 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. So I guess I need a 5 1/2 or 6" riser with a 1 or 2" pullback for a 1 1/4" bar to clear the tank and gauges? Any ideas on where I might find such a thing? I have found all kinds of risers online for 1" bars and even some 1 1/2" bars, but not any pullbacks for 1 1/4".
I checked out Carlini's website like PitDog originally suggested and couldn't find any. I also checked with dennis kirk, jc whitney and a few other various websites. Thanks for any ideas.
