Risers and handle bars for a 2005 883c
Hello all. I have tried searching for this answer but couldnt find any thread to answer this question. I want to switch to drag bars on my 2005 883c. Right now it has the stock bars with the stock pull back riser. My question is, what is the lowest riser you can use on your custom with drag bars before you interfere with the tank?. Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks.

I am not in front of a custom but the speedo is very close to the tank maybe less than an 1 inch. That is as much as you can reduce the riser.
You can get the parts and flip the speedo to be in front of the bars and then you will be able to drop the bars right down.

I have a 4.5 gallon tank on my bike.
A not too scientific look seems to suggest the riser can be just 1" but the bars need to be long enough so the controls on the bars don't hit the tank. The bars will sit a little below the top of the tank but will be in front of it at full lock.
