dondee, thank you for the info...I just ordered a set of the Rivco risers.

 

You're quite welcome. When I find a product that works well or solves a problem I like to spread the word.

I have to admit when I ordered them I thought the price was kinda steep. When they came in and I saw them and saw how well they worked my opinion quickly changed. These things weigh about a pound each and the chrome is about an inch thick. They even put a dab of anti-sieze in the threads for you!

I swear I'd buy a pair just to have laying around to look at even if I didn't own a bike...

Yeah, I know I ain't right.

 

Agreed, I failed terribly on my '06 FXDi. I screwed them up and had to eat $125. If you look closely at the '05, the hockey puck speedo just has a metal bracket but they added a plastic cover over the cables for '06. If you wanted to pull the cover off and shear off the mounting posts for the cover, it would work. I wasn't willing to go that way. Tried to shave off the risers instead . . . now I'm looking for new bars

I've had the Rivco risers on for about a year now & couldn't be happier. I agree, they are extremely well made. An added bonus to them is that when I put my sissy bar and a piece of luggage on, I have a nice backrest for those long trips. Plus they look good.

 

2008 fxd had apes on it when i bought it, gave me shoulder pain and back pain I put a set of roadglide black bars on it, dimpled ones think they were stock but not sure they were only 89.00 from harley they work fine for me.but they tell me if you want more pullback you can go to the heritage bars and it will give you two more inches of pullback and a little higher hand hold.I have a mustang seat with a backrest if i put a lower seat on the bike then the heritage bars would be a better fit for me because of the different hand position. have fun, so far 4 seats and 4 different handlebars.

 

Have you tried simply adjusting the bars closer to her?

 

Hi Folks, Just letting you know if your hockey puck speedo looks like this on the back like by 2006 FXDi, the rivco risers will not work (see the cable cover on the bottom?). I don't know what years/models Dyna are a problem but they don't fit my bike and because I was too smart for my own good and tried to make them fit, I had to eat the cost.

 

I had HD install the Extreme Pullback Bars & Risers too. I have the same problem with my speedo being at an ODD angle now too. Any suggestions for the SPeedo, or know of a speedo I can buy for my '07 SuperGlide that will fix this issue?


Thanks in Advance,

Scott

 

Not to resurrect an old thread, but did anyone that chimed in on this thread end up getting the Flanders I5 or J5? I'm looking to go that route, as this whole riser-not-fitting-with-the-speedo issue has me a little wary of trying that avenue.

Not to mention, this will give me the opportunity to maybe black out the handlebars at the same time.
