Default Replacing Deluxe Riser

Hello,

I'd like to ask you whether it's a good idea replacing the riser (and of course the handle bar)
of a DELUXE by usual ones (like FatBoy, Heritage etc.) ??
I think I do not like the risers ...

Please tell me your opinion and post some scans !!

Thank you !!
eddie

I changed mine . But I went back to the stock bars and risers. You may just have to do it and see what you think. Seems like I remember with the short dog bones and the fat boy bars, cables will work but you may have to bend the metal brake tubing from the brake cylinder.

It's all personal preference. I went through 4 sets of bars / risers on my 04 Fatty and I'm about to change them again.
