Default need expert help!

I have an 09 Rocker with a 3 inch tank lift and am looking to change out the factory bars. What I can't figure out is will the bars I want clear the speedo. I'm looking to go with Arlen Ness Low-riders which have a 12" rise and Pullback where my factory bars are 8/8.

Anyone have input or advice?
has anyone changed to similar bars or t-drags?

Stranger: I checked the fitment guide on J&P cycles website and it said they would fit your bike. I also googled "Arlen Ness Lowrider handlebars on Rocker" then clicked for images and there's a picture of a Rocker with them on. As for your issue with rise... While you're adding 3" of rise to the tank, you're also adding 3" of rise to the bars. If you scroll down on the images I found you will see a Dyna with them on and a side view. I think they have plenty of rise as far as you're concerned. **If anything, call Arlen Ness customer service and verify.**

I spoke with arlen ness tech support and they were not sure if theu would fit or not but were willing to pay return shipping and wave the restocking fee if they would not fit. I was impressed with their customer service

Sounds like you have nothing to lose. Go for it, and take pictures if it fits or doesn't fit!

Sometimes you need to try stuff to know if it will work on a modified bike.
Can't ask for much more than Ness has offered.
