Default Need ideas for handlebar risers


2015 FXDB Street Bob

I stripped the threads on the stock Risers for my 14inch Apes.

Need some ideas on some aftermarket risers that fit my Wild1 Outlawz 14inch

What I'm looking for:
- Black
- similar to stock height of 2~ inches
- fits with stock bolts to Risers
- matching clamps , prefer bolts that are easy to find in case I strip them in the future.

Would this be the OEM / Stock equivalent? I'm not familiar with all the thread sizes.

Done the same thing a few times with over tightening the handlebars ! I usually just drill straight through the riser bolt holes and use a bolt and nut to do the job.

Which bolts did you strip? The bolts through the tree or the clamp bolts?

I found with my 14's I was leveraging the bars back no matter how tight I thought I had the top clamp.
I needed a top clamp made for apes with the 3 set screws. Unfortunately I don't think they come in black only saw them in raw finish.

Didnt strip the bolts. Actually stripped the threads inside the riser while I was trying to tighten one side to adjust my bars.

Now the 1 bolt wont fully tighten in the riser and keeps turning when it's at 90% though, leaving my bars loose whenever I apply slight pressure.

Get wild1 risers, they match the outlawz bars perfectly.

Any suggestions on where to order them besides the wild1 website? I found Dennis Kirk but their pricing seems to fall flat.
