Default Switchback risers on FXDC

Another option for those looking to change risers on their Superglide.
I just installed risers that are stock on the new switch backs on my 09 FXDC. (HD part number 5500004) I only gained about an inch up and an inch back so I won't know till the snow melts how good they feel, but they look great.
I also replaced my stock mufflers with use SEII slip on's I purchased off this forum that have the Big City Thunder baffles in them and they are loud, I love em but would like to find some stock baffles just to compare.
At idle I could tell very little difference between headers only and SEII. That loud!!
If I could post photos I would but I seem to be unable.

Risers were 108.00, I think they were 120.00 list but there was a veterans day special, forget exactly how much they took off.
Spendy but beautiful, I expect you will be able to pick up used ones as more of Switchbacks are sold and customized.
I can't post photos for some reason, when I try the only option I get is to select a URL, not a file.
Send personal email to jrguuch@yahoo.com and I will return it with attached photos.

I posted photos in an album on this forum
"2009 FXDC with 2011 Switchback Risers"
I am sure there's a better way

What size risers were the ones you took of your FXDC?
Do you still have them?

I’ll be having new risers and bars installed on my
FLD at the end of this month if all goes as planned.

If smellsbad info is right, they would bring you one inch down and 1 inch forward.
Another option is we could trade straight across if that is what you are looking for....
