Phat bars on 09 SB?
I have heard some say that due to the one piece top mount and triple tree that there is not enough room to use 1 1/4 bars because of the clearance with the fork tube. I have seen personaly a couple guys grind flat spots on the bottom of the bars to clear. Who has done these bars with out using the clamp extensions like the loner star spacer?

If there is not enough room you can slide the fork tubes down into the clamps farther to give you more clearance. You only need 1/8" more clearance with the 1 1/4" bars compared to the 1" bars.

Simple solution...you can order 1" or 2" risers from Loner Industries that will give you plenty of room for fatter bars.
Oops...sorry. I didn't see you don't want to use LI risers.
