Default 2"" riser pics needed for a Fat Bob

If anybody got pics of a Fat Bob with the 2"" risers it would be very helpful. I"m on the fence on how they look and opinions are also welcome. Thanks to all.

Are you planning on using the OEM dragbars?

Yes I will be using the stock bars and was also thinking about the 6"" pull back risers that Harley makes but they only come in chrome and I prefer black.

Here's pics of my bike with Fat Boy risers and Wide Glide bars. The risers are about 2".

Not sure, but you might have a problem with short risers and drag bars. The Wide Glide bars have a 4.5" rise and the turn signals just barely clear the tank (maybe 1/4") when they are turned all the way. If you keep the drag bars, my guess is you'll have to relocate the signals and even then you might have a clearance problem.

I agree with voudoujoe; You will have a clearance problem. My dragbars are black and I went with the taller risers with a 1.5" pull back in chrome and they look good to me. I found this pic on the forum....These are what I use.

Sounds like you may be looking for 2" spacers added to stock Fatbob risers. Try searching the forum for "spacer Jim" and I'd bet you would find some pics. They don't change the look that much, but they do add enough clearance to add Jackyl's 2" tank lift. Overall the change in feel is subtle, but for me it makes the ride a little more comfortable.
