Default Looking for the perfect riser
Anyone care to help? I'm goin with the street fighter bar from wild 1 on my 02 fatboy. My problem is finding a riser. I'm 5'11"ish with shorter arms due to genetics i guess. So i need pullbacks. Not a lot, maybe 2". And I'd like to keep them relatively short as well. I've done tons of searching, but I cant seem to find that perfect set of pullback risers that will look good on a FATboy... something chrome...something substantial. Any recommendations? Or custom shops to check with? Thanks for the help.

You are not going to find a thick riser with this much pullback. What I would do is hop on ebay and look for a set of stock risers off of a Deluxe for cheap.
