Stock risers. Bought them from a member on here who said he got them from Hill Country Customs. They look like Buffalo bars to me after seeing some on the internet.
Not sure of all the dimensions.

Do I have more pics? Does Oprah like to eat?





This last one was with all stock cables. I have sinced changed out the clutch cable and brake line for longer black braided ones.

Pig I was up in the air on putting 14's on my FXDC until you just posted those pic's. I wasn't sure how they would fit (I'm 5'9). After reading this thread and checking out your pics, I'm ordering the parts tomorrow!

Remember, I have the Lepera seat on most of the time and in the pics so it sits me down lower which in turn makes the bars seem higher, by how much I'm not sure but it is pretty noticeable from the stock seat and even more noticeable from the Mustang Vintage solo seat I use on long rides.
With the Mustang seat on it makes me want taller bars, with the Lepera seat on it feels exactly right.
