Default Replace OEM Handlebar Risers for 2010 Cross Bones Springer FLSTSB

When changing out my handlebars on my 2010 Cross Bones, one of the riser's bolt holes stripped to the point that the riser needs to be replaced. So far I have not been able to find a replacement. It seems that there is something unique about the Cross Bones compared to other Springer front ends. Any guidance on finding replacement risers (black) is appreciated.

+1 for the helicoil. Just helicoil all the threaded holes whether they all currently need it or not, and it’ll be stronger than it was originally. And yep, you’re going to have a really hard time finding aftermarket risers that will fit, I’ve been down than road. Theres a riser manufacturer that does make risers for springers, but the quality is crap, and the guy is an ***. PM me if you want more detail on that. Honestly, just helicoil them and ride on

I replaced my stock risers with Wild Ones stubby risers for Springers; super quality and very strong! They will not strip or allow the bars to move one bit. Also looks much better than stock.

Actually thought about helicoiling one of the others but ultimately didn't. Should have. It stripped the next day. Moving forward, I agree – they should all be Helicoiled. That metal is cheap!
