Default Risers on 2011 Fatboy?

Hey all,

Anyone know if the stock risers on a 2011 fatboy are 1" in diameter, or 1.25" like the rest of the bar? Also, how long are the stock ones? I intend to install some bent risers and increase my rise 2 to 3 inches and pullback by 2. Does anyone have experience doing that?

Your stock bars are 1.25" diameter so you will need risers for a 1.25" bar. A guy I used to ride with changed out the risers on his 2012, the first set of pullback risers caused contact with his tank. I think he ended up going with 6" tall 2.25" pullback Baron risers and had no clearance issues.
