Default Springer Risers
Does anyone make risers shorter than 4 inch for FXSTSI? I found some longer and some dogbones and offset dogbones, but none of them were shorter than 5 inches for a Springer. What I am looking for is a ape/riser combination that will put the grips around shoulder height and fairly wide. I am 6'1" and the stock ones are killing my back.

Thx

Chaos

check out ebay. even if you find a outfit thats selling a lot of harley parts but doesnt have any for you listed in the store page you can always ask them if they can get them. i have seen a lot of riser for srpingers but never really checked because i have a wide glide.

You may want to change out your top triple tree clamp to Ness or Carlini's. You will be able to monunt any risers to them. That's what I did to mine. I have 20"s with 4" fat risers.

Check out Wild 1. Not sure if that's what you want but they have Springer risers and bars.

That's where I bought my apes and I also saw some risers there.

Heritage springer and springer classic risers were 3"....any shorter and you might be concerned with the bars hitting the tank
