FXSTC Handlebar Question
Last summer while riding from the Rio Grande Valley in deep South TX (where I live) to Tucson to help my mother out after she broke a few vertebra in her back I realized it would be more comfortable if my bars were just a bit higher. I have a few questions on this. First, what is the rise on the stock risers? It looks like and inch but I'm not good at eyeballing measurements. Second, what is the rise on the stock bars, along with the pullback? I've thought about going with between a 2" to 4" riser but figured it would look a bit strange on mini-apes. I'm leaning more toward an ape that is just 2 to 4 inches higher than the stock. If I go with new bars I definitely want to go with thicker bars, which of course means new risers. However, I'm a poor teacher and need to go the most reasonable way possible.

I just put '07 WideGlide bars on my CVO Springer.
they are 1 1/4" stock and have a similar rise and pullback to the Softail Custom bars, my springer risers are somewhere around 5 or 6" tall.
so all you would need, aside from the WideGlide bars, are new risers that accept 1 1/4" bars....
