Default Deluxe riser help!!

I got a question? My nieghbor has a 05 softail deluxe and im putting 16" apes on it. He wants short risers and i was wondering if the softail deluxe risers are like the fx and xl risers intercangable. If not does anyone have a picture of a set or can lead me in the direction of where i can find a short set for a deluxe. Thanks

the fat boy has short risers you will need the entire set up.
both risers and the top piece. or go to custom chrome catalog and order from there.
so the answer is yes they are interchangable if you have all 3 pieces or some times 4 pieces

The Deluxe top clamp only works with the Deluxe risers. So as mentioned above you will need short risers and matching clamp.

I used a set of White Brothers 1.5" Chubby type Risers.


Wild 1 sells thems as well. WO525

Also be sure to change the Riser Bushings to Poly otherwise those bars are going to move too much.

Of course the stock Deluxe Top Riser clamp can't be used.

Get rid of the deluxe risers with the bend in them.
