Bar risers on an 06 FXDC
I'm told risers arenot possible with a handlebar speedo mount. I love my stock bars but since installing a Sundowner solo seat I've found myself streching for the bars. I am considering mini apes but would prefer risers if available. Anyone have any suggestions on risers?
Thanks,
MC

RE: Bar risers on an 06 FXDC
MC - any way you slice it, trying to move the speedo is a real pain in the a$$. And I use those $ symbols for a reason. The way I see it - you have 3 options:
1) deal with what you have but switch for some more comfy bars, not much seems available, apes, baby apes ...
2) Switch your speedo housing to a pre 05 style, buy a t-bar clamp that accepts this older housing, and add some t bars that pull back, risers and bars are integrated.
3) Buy the t bars as described above and then buy an integrated t bar clamp/housing that your speedo will fit in. Now this is really not a complete solution, because there does not seem to be such an item that will also accept the idiot lights. I am hoping to go this route, but have yet to solve the idiot light relocation issue.
At least you have a chrome speedo housing to start with.
Good t bars with nice smooth welds look to be pretty pricey.
