Default Need help looking for risers

Just jumped the gun and pickup up some 14" apes. Being 5'7" I'm afraid they might be a little tall. I'm looking for the shortest risers available. I have an FXST and the stock 6" risers have to go.

Also, are risers from Sportsters and Dynas compatible?

I think 1.5" is about as low as they go. Mine are from Todd's Cycle, but there are other companies out there. I think joker machine might make some, a google search might net you some other manufacturers. Swap out you bushings for some good poly ones while you're at it, the apes will beat up the stock rubber ones pretty quick.

Default Risers

Check out stock fat boy the early ones were one inch thick later were one and a half I think . I think stock fatboy or heritage may work for you I know they are short I had to use them to get the nacelle cover to fit on my bike so they had to be low
