Default Springer Risers

I am looking for a set of 6" risers to fit the Harley Springer, (Crossbones) there seems to be a lot around that say they will fit but when you read the small print they have to be modified any one else got around this any links to shops selling them would be gratefull

If you get this:
http://www.arlenness.com/p-1676-spri...ts-models.aspx

You can put any riser you wish on the bike......if you want it black like stock you'd have to have the chrome removed and have it powdercoated black. Thats what i did for my 05 Springer classic with the same front end as yours.

Springer risers are hard to come by and this is one way around it.

I see that those adapters also have a verson that is 'bubbled' out a little around where the riser bolts in. Do you find that this version has the riser hangin off the edge?


Heres a pick of the other type i've seen.

Which RSD Risers did you guys use? I see a bunch on ebay but not sure which ones to buy. Also, are the VT riser studs available in the U.S.? Thanks.

I went with the RSD 3" pt# 0602-0263
bought them from an Indy.... I like to support these guys

the risers studs adapters are from
http://www.vtwinmfg.com
#37-0864 you drop the VT
after you install them you can install any standard risers as long as they don't have a one piece top cap...
