Default Drag Bars on 07

I'm putting drag bars on my 07 883xl. Are risers necessary or are they for preference?

Depends on the rider... I have the stock riser on my 1200Custom and its perfect. It really just depends on what you, the rider, likes...

Not Sure what your stock rise is, but I have heard some people saying the bars hit there tank when turning with no riser. I run drag bars with three inch risers and have no issues.
