Default 08 FATBOY handlebar question

I want to replace the stock bars.&nbsp\\; I'm looking at the WILD1 website.&nbsp\\; Most of the bars show the riser section indented (narrower).&nbsp\\; IS THE 2008 FATBOY HANDLEBAR RISER AREA INDENTED TO 1" OR IS IT 1.25" ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE RISER AREA?

Other option is to look at the bars on other softtails.&nbsp\\; As mentioned in another thread, changed my '06 Fatboy bars 5.75" rise to stock '07 Heritage bars with 8" rise and am very happy with results.
