Mike, does your bike have the 1" or the 1 1/4" bars?

I looked up that part number in the catalog - it says it's for 1 inch.

thanks anyway....

I guess I'll have to exhibit a little patience while waiting on after market parts to catch up to the new models......

ok... stupid question.... how long has the Fat Boy hadstock 1 1/4" bars? I thought HD went to them in '06 or '07.
If you find one let me know, I've been looking for almost a year now.

The 1 1/4" bars are on the 07 and 08.
Nobody makes an 1 1/4" riser.

This sucks too I might add,
because I bought the Harley 10" mini apes 1 1/4" bars and I would still like to have them pulled back somewhat. But I can't.

All your aftermarket 1 1/4" bars are turned down in the middle to accept 1" risers.


[:'(]Harley makes one called a 3" rise,
but the stock one is a 2" and it has a little offset where the 3" is straight.
So I don't think it would be pulled back any.

Les,

I 'found' a temporary solution. I loosened the 5/16" allen head cap screws, that hold the bars to the risers. then pulled up on the hand grips until they were in a better position - for me. I raised the grips about 1 1/2inches andretightened the cap screws. feels better already - I'll know when I go for a ride later.

however, I am now obsessed with finding risers, and won't quit!

Dave

Les, I got this from ChopperKitUSA. these aren't what I'm looking for... no pull-back.


Hi Dave, below are probably the only risers that I’ll have to fit the 1-1/4”. I don’t know if this is what you’re looking for or not.


5” are discontinued but any other is $72.00. Let me know if there is anything else.


Thanks,
