Default 4.5" Risers & Mini Apes Bolt Question
I just ordered 4.5" risers to put on my '09 FXD, going to use the street bob mini apes on top. The site said I would need 1/2" x 13 bolts. Does anyone know the bolt length I will need? Maybe a link to somewhere to buy them if anyone else has done this.

Thanks for any help!
