if you are looking for 7 inch rise the part number is 1803-1502. i got a little confused by the center width as well, 8.5" center width sounds like a bit much doesn't it?

by the way, i think they'll fit your rocker (even though you've got an 09, I'm pretty sure HD didn't change anything on the bars)

go to look into that center width though....it's weird

Hey TomHummer,

Will you have to get risers for either of the drag bars (Calini's or Wild1's) or will they fit the forks as is?

I'm new to all this so if that's a stupid ? I apologize lol
