Nacelle and it's risers
Ok, I have done some searching but have not found an answer to this.....I have an 09 Fatboy that I put the bars and risers from a 2010 Lo. After a long ride I have determined that I need the bars up a couple of inches and back probably an inch or two. Now, I would love to put a Nacelle on and have one at my disposal. the issue is I don't think the risers that HD says are needed will help me with my riding position. The question is, does anyone know if I can use the pullback/risers that HD offer, like this http://www.harley-davidson.com/gma/g...bmLocale=en_US with the nacelle? I really like the look of the bars and do not want to change that. If not, what are some options that you can offer. Thanks.

I would question if those would fit under the Nacelle Riser Cover that is included.
Note the Chrome Cover over covering the risers in this pic.
I am not sure what bars you have installed but if you want up and back maybe SB Mini Apes or god forbid some Buckhorns.

I had risers like those with the nacelle, you just can't use the riser cover provided because they will not fit over. I eventually changed the bars to incorporate the rise and pullback built into the bars. This allowed me to use a low-profile riser and nacelle top cover.

They are a couple inches higher but add no pullback.

Phantom, that looks like what I want to do. Wre there any issues with the nacelle fitting around the risers? I don't really need or want the "cover" over the risers as long as it looks finished.
I am currently using the bars and risers from a Fatboy Lo.
Also Phantom, did you have to trim the nacelle to put it on around those risers?
