Default stock street bob riser height

What is the stock riser height on a 07 street bob? I want to go a inch higher. Where is a good place to order them and will the stock clamp and cables work?

Thanks

I believe it is 1 inch.

You can order risers from most anywhere (I would suggest J&P).

You can go as high as 4 inches without changing out cables. Your stockers will be really tight but it will fit.

will the stock harley handlebar clamp work with most all of them? When they measure riser height is the part that is showing you measure?

make your own if oyu only want an inch! they are liek 5 bucks to make with local parts form a hardware store... here is a pic of the ones i used to have on my bob... if you look below my stock risers those are the ones i made last time... all you need is some chrome pipe (the kind you put on plumbing under the sinks), some fender washers, hardened bolts,and chrome push caps... then just a bit of give it a go attitude!

Stock risers are 2" on '07 St Bobs. I installed 3" domed risers that come with separate top clamps (one for each riser). Sort of a slight hour glass shape which is more pronounced in the same 5" domed risers. No problem using stock cables with the 3" risers, etc except you need to bend the brake line slightly (and carefully!). Got them off ebay from American Classic, but also available from J&P as well as others if you like spending more money for the same parts - LOL! Wanted an extra inch as well as separate top clamps so I could install a Baron tach on the handle bars between the risers (yet to be installed). When watching Ghost Rider, I noticed the same style risers on Nick Gage's chopper and knew i had to have them!

They are hat/vest pins I got off ebay for like $1 each in pewter (bought a bunch to get that price) - do an ebay search for 'skull pin' - just nipped off the pin in the back, filed it down a wee bit and applied some 3M double-sided auto trim tape cut to size, and voila! They're holding up fine as I used the same tape for my tank emblems, so you could put them anywhere. If you look close, there's a chrome winged skull (only a little bigger) on front of the top triple tree I did the same thing to only it had a long horizontal clasp so I had to dremel it off. There's another one on top of the headlight visor only a smaller style winged skull. Got this obsessive thing for skulls, so did much the same on my '32 Ford roadster.

No unfortunately - the stock clamps have offset (angled) bolt holes whereas my domed risers have straight front/back clamp bolt holes (see pic). The domed risers came with the clamps and allen bolts.
