Been looking for some risers for 1 1/4" bars. Some kickback style. Anyone seen any anywhere?

You are going to have a hard time with pull back risers on a WG, they would have to be a minimum 6" high to clear the console. V-Twin has 1 1/4" risers. Not a lot of choices though for true 1 1/4" bars..
It would be easier to rotate the bars back towards you.

I got 2" riser blocks for the fatbob from spacerjim a couple weeks ago. Even though I prefer the stock look without them, those puppies aren't coming off. (comfort!) He doesn't mention anything for WG's but the guy will make anything you want if you send him a drawing.

RSA, I have been finding that to be true. There are some straight up risers, but the selection of 1 1/4" risers that are pullbacks are slim, and nearly impossible for the WG. I need about 2" if I could get it, but don't want to pay $200 for a couple of risers either. I love the fatter bars, but the industry seems to be lagging in offering pieces and parts for those size bars. All that google bs is stuff I have already been through. Like most stuff, it sounds easy but isn't what it would appear.

thanks

I feel your pain, I wanted pullbacks, but gave up the search a while back. I should have my new bars this week and they are 1 1/4" except for the control area, so V-Twin was the only place I found 1 1/4" risers that I liked, choices are slim. I see an ad on this page for ROX, adjustable risers, might give that a look.

I have some straight risers for sale in the Dyna classified section. They are made for 1-1/4" bars. I was selling the risers, mini apes and cables as a package. But, it looks like the cables might go as a set. I'll still have the risers and bars.

I've ordered a pair of 2" Fat Bob spacers from Spacerjim and I'm looking forward to fitting them. They should make a lot of difference to the comfort.

The stock bolts are 2 .75" long .5" standard thread with .75" hex head. the ones I found at the local place were 4.5" or 5" long stainless steel. I got the 4.5's at first but didn't feel too safe (just being a granny i guess),I went back and got the 5" ers the next day and there's lot's of room up in the oem risers to screw them in,just in case you get to the hardware and have to choose .
Comfort-wise they do help quite a bit! but they really stand out,I may have mine cut .5 an inch later on.
