I think mine are either 2" or 2.5" rise. I love the way they set me up when riding. I'm not totally sure, but I think they were made by Kury.

Personal preference on looks and comfort. I spent a lot of time choosing the right bars for me for fitment within the drag bar style. Not sure what the difference is if you want them internally wired between riser bars and integrated risers. Pix in my gallery.

You should sit on the bike and put your hands where they are comfortable, then figure out the measurements to get you close to that. You'll need to get the risers with the right heigth and pullback...unless you are wanting T-bars which are all one piece.

My brother and I are both running Duece style risers and 1.25" drag bars from www.KCInt.com which was less than $80 to do.

I've also added 2" spacers to get the bars exactly where I needed them.

My Bob with the additional spacers:

Check out the pictures I posted of my stock Fat Bob.

Up until the time I sat on the bike, I never thought I would like the rider position. It just took sitting on it one time, and I changed my mind. I like the way they look and feel.

Higher Rider/More Pullback (either in bars or riser) = More comfort and less control.

It's a balance of what you want out of the bike... oh yeah, and there is the look you prefer.

Mascman, are those spacers for the risers I see?

I've got Street Slammers, and I would love you bring them up a little bit. Where did you get those?
