Get some fat ones like I used, kinda beefy looking, they are about 3 3/4" to 4" tall. Help get the bars up near level with the top of the counsel. Remember how Tom's bike looks with the shorter risers? Always kinda bugs him. I think Harley sells them. I think thats where I got mine from.

Good luck and keep us posted.

Thanks Ron.

Gonna go to Harley in the morning and pick up the last couple parts I need to finish this project.

At least finish it for now....

Thanks
I try to document everything I do to the bike.
It also helps us non mechanical types get the stuff back together.

I also keep a three ring binder with all my paperwork and receipts for parts so I can track everything...

I installed the 12.5 ww chubbies and I thought I used my stock risers. Can't remember now. Why won't your risers work?

The stock risers and top clamp on the 2010 Heritage are to long to fit in the "reduced" area of the Chubby handlebars. They are about a 1/16" to long...

Thanks about it for now.
Still waiting on my risers to arrive.
I should have everything to complete the project once my risers show up.

BTW, I did get a new camera a couple weeks ago and still experimenting with the settings. Cannon T1i
