i changed the risers on my crossbones to 3" rsd with rsd vintage bars and used a drag specialties part vt37-0864. these riser studs let you use any risers on a springer fork. solved a massive problem i had and would highly recommend

Don't you need adapters?
the bolts for the springer font end thread down from the top... conventional have bolts that attach from the bottom...
and aren't they a different thread size...

yea what cammy5477 said...

Wild 1 has a set but the have a pull back that I am not looking for, I also found a set at choppersinc but they are not quite what I am looking for either (not the '6 gun' theme).

Looking around I see some 'conversion' studs adapters. Has anyone used these? It looks like these adapter studs should allow me to put what ever 'regular' riser I would like on..?

NYC Chopper have some Crossbones risers, they only show 3.5 inch risers on their website I asked if they could do them in 6" and they said no problem,

On a different note I email Harley over this problem and asked why I can buy anything from a custom nut to a new seat for my bones but not a new set of longer risers, as this isnt a problem for any other Harley I haven't had a answer yet but when I do I will put it on the forum
