Default Risers
For all of you who own a FATBOB and feel that the bars are just a bit uncomfortable I just installed a set of 8 inch risers. I was able to find a pair that fit the 1 1/4 bars. I had to replace the front brake lines and all I did was re-rout the clutch line (fit Perfectly). The electrical connections are definately long enough, just puled them out from under the tank. If I could send a pic I would but not sure how to do it yet.

Thanks, make riding a bit more comfortable. Forgot to add, I had to by solid bushings. The stock bushings wont hold the risers.
