Pullback risers for Fat Bob
Thought some of the other Fat Bob owners on here might get some use out of this info as well as anybody else running 1-1/4" bars on their bike. To give some background info there are a ton of listings for 1-1/4" pullback risers but most of them are mislabeled or incorrectly advertised as being for 1-1/4" bars because the risers themselves are made of that diameter bar. So there are a **** ton of pullback risers for 1" bars like you find on most Harley's that are listed as 1-1/4" or 1.25" pullback risers but are actually for 1" bars. Some sites are nice enough to clarify that the mounting diameter for the bars is 1" or whatever but as we all know with large wholesalers they rarely pay attention to little details like that. Plus you add the fact that the number of bikes that use 1.25" bars is much less there just isn't as much call for pullback risers that fit those diameter bars, especially in PC'd black so what few are out there are usually chrome.
Getting to the point of my thread I found some at baron customs LA Choppers HEFTY RISERS
SMOOTH, BLACK
1-1/4" Mount, 5.5"Curved Rise
I live in Vegas and they shipped from CA so I got them within 2 days and already got them installed. Now I get to keep my Flanders 35 degree drag bars and have a elbow bent relaxed feel to the bars. I am 5'10" so I would say these put the bars at average riders reach whereas the stock ones were leaned forward a bit too much to be comfortable for me.

No changes required to the cables, I had to do the wiring because I changed to Flanders black 35 degree drag bars but if I had stuck with the chrome stock drag bars then I wouldn't have had to change out anything other than the risers.

Can the stock H-D caps be used with these risers? I like the smooth caps they come with, but I have a tach mounted to the top of mine and would like to keep it. Thanks for the info!
