I do not have a catalog but they where purchased from HD.
The riser were on the bike when I bought it, the previous owner had mentioned that it was a straight forward install, so no cable or wiring issues.

they are 4".

 

shouldn't have to replace anything with 4"

who told you this?..........lemme guess.......the dealership

 

The GIRL I bought the bike of installed herself and mentioned that it was straight forward swap.

 

yeh, exactly. Someone is trying to get some extra money out of vonzoog

 

and I was talking to voon, not you colin in the other post

 

no worries

 

Yes it was the dealership. One parts department and one from service. I even walk around with them in the show room and I showed them bikes with short risers and asked it they were sure. They told me no doubt about it.

Now I have own 5 bikes in my days and God knows how many cars and trucks. I have a well stocked garage with tools and lifts, etc. and do 90% of all my own matanance and repair work. I kept staring at the bike(s) and felt that it could be done. 6 inch may be close, but the 4 inch should be no problem.

I kept feeling a little back strain after a couple of hours of riding and felt that moving the bars up and back just slightly would make all of the difference in the world. Then I install a detachable windshield and now have no trouble. Must have been leaning into the wind too much. Anyway I think I will still enjoy using the risers and will go ahead with the install. Still like to ride without the windshield around town.

Thanks for everyone's input and help.

 

ask us before you ask them on any of your future projects
They just wanna make money

 

risers may not be the fix?? what about the seating position??
just an idea as riding position could be painfull.How tall are you?

 

I know where you are going here and I already have a seat that I ride solo and I put the original on when my wife wants to ride with me. I am thinking about moving the floorboards out. Heard that makes the sitting position more comfortable.

I had a Triumph years ago that I semi chopped that I install "ape hangers" on. Maybe a 12 or 14 inch rise and I enjoyed it. Did if for looks but I found that I did like it. This time I am doing if for looks again only I now prefer the looks of the bars being down and not up in the air. I know a lot of members here like putting hangers on Fatboys and that is fine. Just not the look I am going for this time around.
