Default Handlebar (Riser) Question

I'm going to run the Chubby 503 (Knucklebars) with risers. I have the stock Deluxe risers (And) a pair of stock Deuce risers which are aprox 1" taller.

My question is; Has anyone run Deuce risers on a Heritage/Fatboy/Deluxe etc?
Just at 1st glance they seem like they'll hit the speedometer housing.

And thanks to Tim (Firedocs) a member here who gave me a good deal on these bars. A very stand up guy. A pleasure to do business with.

Any input is appreciated (as always)

You could run 4" streight risers and not worry about them hitting......Just a thought..

Sorry. it was Cliff (or Clifford). I pulled the wrong name off my PM

Either way. Great deal on the bars. I managed to get the Duece risers and the stock Deluxe chrome clamp that will work on either set.

I will have the 518's F/S at some point soon.

I would also like an answer to this question! My stock bars on the deluxe are about an inch to far for my reach. I was thinking it might be cheaper to just find a higher riser than the stock ones instead of replacing the bars....Just what is the limit on height size for the deluxe so you don't hit the tank? thanks

Hey...I'm still a stand up guy though right?...huh...lol I was asking you about the bars you were running, I am needing a different direction from stock and I like the ones in your pic. I am still torn between the 518's or apes. I know its two different birds, but I am only 5'8" and have to be careful of apes..

Ha ha !!! OK OK !! You're both GREAT !!! TOPS!!! Sheeeesh !!

And it by the logo, Tim is a Fire Fighter (I'm quick that way)
Those guys are true heroes !!!!!


Ok ok !!! All that aside, in answer to you question, @ 5'8" , 518's may be ok. I'm 6'0". I like all the pull back. It's the wrist angle. I'm developing a wrist problem and these bars aren't helping. If the 503's don't do the trick, I dunno.

Keep that in mind.
