Default Riser Question

Hi everyone. I just ordered a set of 4 inch curved risers for my '05 Superglide. My question is how much closer will they move the handlebars. I can't seem to find an answer.

Follow the riser base angle on your bike and move it further 4" along the curve you ordered. That will tell you.


Or just wait a few days and find out when it gets there.

Ha! Depends on the angle and then the curve of the risers you purchased. No way of telling unless you find someone here with the exact same kind of risers on an Superglide, who feels like going out to their bike to measure for you.
