Anyone making risers for 08 fatboy yet?
Has anyone found aftermarket risers for the \\; 08 fatboy 1 1/4 \\; handle bars yet? \\; Still waiting. \\; I have a machine shop but no means of plating. \\; Could build my own. \\; Just keep hoping someone will come up with a set. \\; Who would be interested in buying a set if I could produce something nice. \\; Say maybe 2 - 4 up and 2" back. \\; Could probably still use the stock wires and cables with 2 up and 2 back. \\; Would have to check price of chroming not even sure i want to fool with it. Give me your source for the risers or your input on your interest in purchasing and reasonable cost.

I've been looking since last September, allbeit - off &\\; on, for risers for my '08 FatBoy too. NOTHING. what would you think of making them out of aluminum and polishing? I'd be interested if the price wasn't too high.

I am watching for them too! \\; 2 up and 2 back is exactly what I'm looking fo too!!!!! \\; I keep my fingers crossed for manufacturers to see enough demand to tool-up for these.

I could be wrong, but you should be able to use risers made for 2007 Fatboys. Should be the exact same triple tree.

Call up the guys at wild1 \\; www.wild1inc.com and see if they have anything to fit our bikes. Personally going with 14" apes with their adapter for stock risers so I wont be needing new risers.
