Need different risers on Deluxe
Once again need your help.
My wife's left shoulder/neck area has been really sore since riding so I decided to find her comfort zone on the Deluxe. I held the bike up while she had her hands down and eyes closed. Told her to keep her eyes close and put your hands where the bars should be for her to be comfortable. She came up right at 2" behind the bars but the same height.
I measured the stock risers and they are right at 4 1/2" - 5". Do you know where I can get 6-7" risers for a 06 Deluxe that keeps the stock bars at about the same height?
Thanks

The way you described it, you want to keep her hand level at the same height, but just back towards her by 2 inches. If you go with a 6 or 7 inch riser, I don't think it will get you there. It will put the bars back a bit, but much higher hand position.
The "reach" bars are designed like the stock ones, but bring the hand position straight back to you, not up and not down. Call your local stealership or look on the HD website for "reach" bars for a deluxe.
I hope that helps.

You may want to look into a set of "reach" bars for the deluxe.

RE: Need different risers on Deluxe
This is my first post, I am SmsgtB'S wife, I appreciate your looking into this for me! All I know is I need to do something because after about 20 minutes riding, I hurt really bad on my left shoulder/neck region. I love to ride and I hate having to stop because I hurt. I find myself concentrating on my pain instead of enjoying the ride. i want to enjoy the ride and need to fix something.....
Thanks again for the help!
