Question Stock short risers with offset bolt pattern
Wondering if anyone knows of a straight short riser swap for earlier softails. Looking for 1.5-2" short straight risers to use with the stock offset top clamp from my 04' night train, and the reasonable priced aftermarket choices don't let the bolts thread right through like stock which I'd like to avoid if possible. Wondering what years of softail have short straight risers that will work with my top clamp.

The new Low Rider has a straight 1.5" riser with a staggered pattern, lots of people have changed bars already.

I had the RSD shorties 1.5" for 8 years now, they work perfect, and I think you can use stock top clamp on them
