'01 Handlebars
I want to replace my bars.....the guy I bought the bike from put a very low rise and too far of a pull-back bar on the bike. I'm too tall for these (6'1"). What are the max. rise bars I can go with without having to extend my factory cables? Also, I am a noob so please bear with me........are there specific risers for the Sporty and what is the typical/standard diameter???
Anybody have a set of bars laying around you're just itching to get rid of??? I'm cheap and broke but I can throw a few dollars your way if the price is right.

There are not Sportster specific risers. All Harley risers use 1/2" bolts in defferent lengths depending on how tall the riser is.
On another thread similar to this one someone suggested unbolting the bars and raising them up to see how far you can go with the cables. Keep in mind the bit of slack you'll need to turn.
This link will help you measure the bars you have & then you'll be able to decide what you need to be comfortable.
