Default H-D or Wild 1 risers?

I need some 4" pullback risers for my 2010 Fat Boy. The Wild 1 pullback riser is cheaper than the H-D, but I'm sure you guys can tell me which one is the better product to buy.

Is that a Fatboy lo or regular Fatboy. If it is a regular Fatboy know that you need risers for a 1 1/4" bars thay don't drop to 1" at the risers like most bars do. Not sure about the lo. I just changed my bars on my 09 Fatty to Klock Werks Mentele's and went with Wild1 Chubbut 1 1/2' risers with a top clamp very nice products.

Chubby Wild1 risers on my bike(WO525-1.5"). Very well made and are thicker than HD's risers. Can't go wrong with wild1's..

Funny you should bring this up. I'm selling a pair of those 4" pullback risers along with the top clamps on ebay. They came off my Deluxe last week when I put my ape hangers on. I also have the stock handlebars and the 4 cables that came off it too.

Greetings,

I agree with the others...I ran Wild 1's risers on my Rocker and it was a very high quality product. I'd buy them again in a heartbeat

I called Wild 1, and they stated that I would have to buy an adapter because the risers are 1" not 1.25" like the new Fat Boy's bars. They suggested their W0518 handlebars.

Just an fyi...The Lo uses the same (1 1/4) risers on the other current F/B model. I just got some 1" risers to run with the 14" apes I'm putting on.

Just replaced the chrome pitted H-D risers with the Wild One #525. Great product!

Also, replace those stock stamped-steel cup washers (handlebar bushings) with their chrome ones.

So if I'm putting the FatBoy Lo stock bars on my 07 FatBoy I wont have to change risers?
