Question Question about Risers on FatBobs

Need some help from those in the know.......

I am thinking of changing risers to get a better position on my bars for better posture and a more comfortable ride when cruising the highways. I have been to many a website and looked through lots of catalogs looking for what I think I might like only to become slightly perplexed over all the varieties.

So my question to those in the know, what do you use/have used, or just outright suggestions on who and where to look?

Thanks~SteveO

I've got Flanders (wide) Flat Track bars on 2" high risers... they are the most comfortable bars that I've tried.
But it's not just the bars, my floor boards are an integral part of how the bike rides.
They're after market standard boards for an FLH type Harley which I custom fit to my bike...
But that's really beside the point... if you had the same bars and used mid mount foot rests... you'd have the same effect.

In fact I'd suggest you try a set with your current bars. Keep the mid pegs folded up around town, then fold em down when you cruise the highway.

My set-up
HD Street Slammers with intefrated 7" inch Risers. I love these.

Before I tried HD 6"inch risers also good just not so clean

Both give a comfortable riding position.

laroc; What kind of changes did you have to go through in order to have them fit correctly?

No Changes at all. Use stock cables. Very easy to do.
