Default Chubby Question

I have an'07 Fatboy and I just purchased a set of Wild 1 Chubbys 16" from a friend who had them installed on a Street Bob, but he is shorter and kept getting pulled over cause his hands were way above his shoulders. I just got home and held them up to my stock risers, and it looks like they will not fit. I have not taken the risers apart to actually try to fit them yet, but it looks like the knurls are closer together than my stock bars. Does anyone know if the Chubbys are multi-fit, or are they specifically built for Softail, Dyna, etc? I did some research online and here and can't seem to find any info.... Thanks ahead of time for the help!!

Found my answer.... The stock risers on 2007-up Fatboy, FXDWG, and CVO bikes are 1 1/4", not 1" like the rest of the bikes ever made by the MoCo. The bars I got have the 1" taper. Wild 1 sells a collar that fits over the taper section for $60. As usual, this good deal is gonna end up costing more than I anticipated!! PITA

I purchased a set of Arlen Ness offset risers when I put the Chubbies on my Heritage...

Wild 1 makes an adapter for your risers.
