Default Springer riser adapter for XB?

So the threads in my risers are f""ked and I need some new risers.

I've been looking at these http://www.rolandsands.com/products/...-Black-Anodize

But it says it needs adapters for springers, and Roland Sands recommended some riser adapters from V-Twin manufacturing: http://www.phatperformanceparts.com/...vt-37-0864.htm

But I haven't found these in stock anywhere, so Im wondering if these will fit : http://www.debrix.com/Riser-Adapters...p/64110-k1.htm

Looks like the same threads to me, but the one's I found looks like they have much shorter threads on one end... Haven't taken mine of yet, so don't know what I need...

Thanx....

The threads look the same but from what I can see, The springer has 1/2in-13 threads, and the standard riser has 5/8-18 threads. They look the same but one is coarse and one is fine. If they say you need the adapter, you probably do.

You were close Jay! These are the ones you need...
http://www.debrix.com/Riser-Stud-Con...37-0864-vt.htm

But remember, when you use any of these riser adapters you WILL be able to see the hex area of the adapter sitting between the new riser and the top tree. So you might want to paint them black...

Or you can go with this and not need any adapters with your new risers...
http://www.ebay.com/itm/ARLEN-NESS-S...sories&vxp=mtr

But you will need new Non-Springer bars for your bike...

I've got a 06 FXSTS so I've been though all of this before. Hahaha

DC Mike, yeah I know. Your link is the same as mine, with the #37-0864, but they're out of stock everywhere....

What about these then? http://www.phatperformanceparts.com/...nycc-studs.htm

Same threads, and I guess all I need is a bolt with different threads on each side?

Bumping this, since I still need new risers...

I haven't taken mine off yet, so not really sure what I need.. But aren't the last one I linked ( the ones from NYCC ) the same as the vtwin except, you won't have the hexarea exposed?

Someone must be rocking the NYCC-studs since the vtwin's have been sold out for forever...?
