Though I had the same risers and the handlebar on my fatboy before I made the switch. The bushings are different. Need the help
dealer ship said u will get used to it but I have OCD I can’t c it and ignore it 🤦🏽‍♂️
If the dealership told you that you would get used to it then they must have noticed what you did. So, take it back to them and tell them you don't want to get used to it you want it fixed.
