Risers/bars

2011 SuperGlide FXDC

I would like to raise the stock bar height by 2" and rearward by 2".

When I am leaning back on a rear seat mounted piece of luggage, my arms are at the max extension and it's uncomfortable.

Can I use some sort of "riser" setup that would accomplish both?
I really don't want to change out the bars if at all possible.

I put these on my 2010 FXDC. They raise the bar 1" and back 2". Well made and they did just the trick for me. Much more comfortable.

I have some brand new in the package 2.5 pullback risers DS-290126 that I'd sell you for $35 shipped that would probably be just what you are looking for..

Those look good to go Lionsm.....however I was following this thread about those very same risers and are concerned about them not being threaded in the top end and that new bolts would be needed.

I am in rural Mexico (Baja) and procuring the correct bolts would be dicey, if not impossible.
I need a direct bolt on, with threaded holes that use the stock bolts from the clamp.

The Rivco photos show threads in the riser which would be the ticket in my case......although pricey!!!
And thanks!!!

The Rivco risers are indeed pricey, but they are beefy, well engineered and well made. Bolting them on was a piece of cake. They put the bars in a perfect position, and when my sissy bar and luggage are installed I have a nice backrest.

They are threaded through the top. A handlebar clamp secures them actually, w/4 bolts, 2 on each side. I could probably find new bolts or you could use your existing ones. Just trying to help.
