Springer riser question
Hello there,
looking for a little help with changing the risers on my springer(96 bad boy FXSTSB) I bought it with these http://www.jpcycles.com/product/5000255 risers already on it and I want to know what I need to swap over to standard style harley risers. I dont have any of the original parts to reference. The dealer wants $250 for all the stock parts. what are my options?
any help is appreciated!

Any idea if the Crossbones studs and risers will bolt onto the Badboy?

Crossbones, Springer Classic, Heritage Springer, bad boy all used the same risers. Only difference is that FX's were 4". The FL's were 3"

I just went to my local auto machine shop they sell the bolts there. J&P wants $15 for the set I paid $2 each. They are threaded on each end, I think they are 1/2"x20? screw one side into the bottom of your standard riser (with locktite) and then screw the riser into the top of your front fork. I had to use a cheater bar to get them screwed in all the way so I wrapped it with a shop towel to protect the chrome riser. Gives it a much cleaner look than what you are running now IMO check out my pics I think you can get a good view of mine.

I think I figured it out. I bought some through bolt risers and studs from J&P. I also looked at the top triple tree form Carlini's, but It is chrome and my springer is black. So I will wait on the top plate to see how the stock type stuff looks.
Thanks for the help
