OK, I'm out to lunch here on this topic and am looking for some answers. I was talking with a guy about how I really like the look of the Street Bob but just don't like the feel and angle of the stock mini apes. He was telling me that on older SB models the risers weren't integrated but after 2007 they made them integrated. As such, he contended, you really can't change the risers and bars on a new SB. Is this guy FOS? I would think if you wanted to with a newer SB (2008-2010) you could add a Fat Bob handlebar set up with risers without changing the triple tree (maybe you would have to change it). Thanks for sharing any knowledge. A twelve pack of beer is riding on this one...
07 and up risers are intergrated into the top triple tree clamp. so you are very limited as to what bars you can run with out having to change the triple

He is right
You can different apes or bars but if want to add risers you would have to change the top tree.
The do make extentions to go on the triple tree as well.
If you are betting you can put Fat Bob risers and bars on a 2008-2010 Street Bob; pay up as you lost.
The integrated risers are just that, integrated. Meaning one piece. To change to something like on a Fat Bob the top triple tree needs to be replaced if not the entire triple tree to match the bottom.
I bought if I remember right a 2006 or 2007 Super Glide top triple tree for $30 off ebay and put it on my 2008 Street Bob (It had the intergrated risers).
