OEM fat Boy risers, look great and can be had quite cheap - I think I paid $40 for the set. Not sure of the exact measurement but they are under 2" and not at all hard to come by, always seems to be some in the ST classifieds.

I got the la choppers hefty risers and don't recommend them because of this same issue. To adjust them, I actually took an allen key, and used my bench grinder to shorten it a little bit. I actually ended up rounding the head of one of the bolts, and had to replace it. I would never ever buy another set of these risers because they are such a pain in the ***.

Thanks all for the imput, I baffles me how many 1 1/4 bars there are out there, but how fiew risers for em. I digg the fat boy ones. Could you tell me what year fatboy those came from? just so I make sure I don't end up with risers from a year they did make the bars only 1" thick.

I'm not sure when they began using those risers on the fat boy but any late model will have them - I think mine where off a 2010 though.

Same here.

I would imagine this guy could whip some up for you pretty easy.
