Default Mud handlebars set up

I sent a message to Mud but thought someone here might know, I have an 2002 FXD, I love the handle bar set up you have on your mudglide. I've read the post and searched, but what size risers do you have? I know they are fat bob bars and 1 1/4", and you said you would need 1" adapters? Also, are the risers straight? I would really like to have this setup, and I see I can buy 1" drag bars, but like the look of 1 1/4. Just wondering what I need to do the setup? Thanks!

I am assuming you can't view pix with only one posting.

risers are straight.

handlebar part # is 55977-09

risers part # is 55996-09

don't know where you came up with the 1" adapter thing.....

this setup may or may not work out on your 2002

lotsa things changed in 2006....

Sorry Mud, I didn't read your old post correctly."FB bars will work, you need the risers as well.

FB bars are 1 1/4".......... fxd risers and clamp is 1".

you will have an issue with your speedo and warning lights

the main issue with this technique is the speedo mount.

on the bars is the ideal position for the speedo and tach.

a glance outta the corner of your eye and you know where you stand.
