Default Well I joined the riser club......(Pics)

I had to do something quick about the reach after installing the new seat so I went to the local HD today and picked up the only set of risers they had in stock. Here are a few pics of the bike with the seat and new risers installed. Let me know what you think.....

I'm doing it too. Do you like the feel? Did it change the handeling at all?

You can really tell the difference...the seat and risers are a definite improvement IMO.

They feel great and put the grips right where I needed them. It was like night and day after installing the risers. As for the way it handles I don't really feel any difference, although I'm still getting use to the difference between my FXSTC with Drag bars and the FB with these style of bars. I do not feel as connected to the road on this bike as I did on my FXSTC, and the difference in the two style of handle bars is very noticeable to me. With the drag bars on the FXSTC the front end felt more solid with the bars and forks as one. The FB feels like there is a little lost in translation from the pavement to the grips if you know what I mean.

I like them
The HD wheels look especially nice with that color paint job.

Thaks for the complements! I'm a silver lover when it comes to cars and bikes as you can see by the car in the garage. (SVT Focus...I know but it gets good gas mileage and we have the wifes Tahoe when we go out..lol...)

Looks nice! Do you have the stock number for those risers? My Brother-in-law is looking for risers for his Wide Glide and he wants to be able to use his original handlebar clamp (one piece clamp) like you did.

I like the feel of the slight rise, up and back also, and Your Fatboy looks great!!! I bought a similar set from JandP, which also uses the stock clamp...
