Default Springer Risers
Are fl springer risers a different height than fx springer risers or are they the same? I looked here but didn't find a convincing answer. I called the dealer and they couldn't tell me since they don't have the parts in stock to compare. I'm looking to replace my 2002 fxsts risers with a set that are maybe a couple inches shorter but I want to maintain a factory look.

I ended up using LA Choppers 1.5" springer risers with NYC Choppers Narrow Apes and don't have any clearance issues. Issues I have are the 16" apes are more like 18" which is too tall for me. Been riding like that for over a year now but might be time to switch to their 12" narrow apes. The other issue is that there is a vibration at certain rpms with the solid mount risers.

Yepper. My 16" on top 4" risers are almost too high.
