Default risers question
Maybe a stupid question, but...

I have, from what I can tell, stock fxdx bars with 4" risers. I plan on buying 8" - 10" risers.


Are these bars 1", and will I need to match them with the risers? Or can I use 1 1/4" risers (thickness). Thanks

Most risers are 1", unless stated otherwise. Just get 1" risers and you will be fine as long as you are keeping the same bars.
