Default Risers fxcwc

Has anyone replaced thier risers without doing a complete bar set up i dont know what the measurements on the stock bars. I do like the feel just wish they were about 2 inches up and 1 more back. surely someones made aftermarket ones by now?

Rocker risers and bars? I've wanted to make some adjustments too, but there's not much you can do without replacing both risers and bars (the bars are two separate pieces, and normal aftermarket bars won't fit these risers). The risers are such a nice piece of art, that I haven't been willing to go that route so far.

Harley lists a shorter set of bars. It also wouldn't be too hard to fabricate (or have fabricated) a set of bars to fit the Rocker risers, bent to your specs.

not sure on the risers, but Bitchin Seats makes bars for the Rocker, they make lower and further back versions, to go with thier seats. But I'm sure Rich would do whatever you want, he has done stuff for me in the past with no problem
