Let us know what you find. I've been looking for some 7" or 8" risers that will fit the stock bars but haven't had much luck yet.

Its very simple to change the risers, which will open the door to a world of different handlebars. Two bolts on the top of each clamp. And two 1/2” bolts under the top triple tree. Makes sense to change the stock jelly rubber bushings to the new HD polyurethane bushings made my Alloy Art for HD.

I've noticed how hard they are to find. I'm probably just gonna swap to 8" Biltwell Murdock risers and Biltwell low tracker bars or something similar but I thought I would try to save a bit of money on bars but I think the tracker bars will look better anyway.

OP sorry for the hijack here.

one thing to note is those risers don’t have provisions to run the cables through the risers. In case that matters to you.

It does matter I just noticed that after looking at them again. Thanks for the heads up. In that case, I'll probably go the same route as Decker72 and get the HCP Risers. They are a bit more expensive but look great.

Take a look at Bung King. He’ll make risers any height and any pull back drilled or not for cables, black or chrome. I have a set on my FXR and the quality is unmatched. Pricey, and takes time to fab up, but well worth it. Standard 1” clamp area I believe, which is fine if you’re changing bars anyway...
