Default Rocker riser spacing

Does anyone know the spacing (bolt hole width) of the rocker riser? I am trying to figure out if other bars will work. has anybody changed the risers or bars on the rocker to something other than the drag bars designed for it? I was thinking about the street slammer bars for example? i know the website says they won't work, but how often are the parts catalogs wrong!?

Default RE: Rocker riser spacing

since nobody knows, can somebody who actually owns a rocker do me a huge favor and measure the space distance between the riser bots (center of bolt to center)?

thanks very much

It's 3.5 like every other bike. I have been researching and am having my dealer put carlini clean sweeps this week.

bulldog,

thank you very much. knowing what size the mounting width is opens up a whole lot of possibilities for bars and risers.

thanks
