Default risers! Which one?

Hey fellas,

I'm going 16" apes on my street bob. I want to go with something like a 1" riser and have been told that for 16" apes its better to get a one piece top clamp for the risers. Which ones is everyone using. I'm having trouble findin a riser and 1 piece clamp set.

Cheers

sorry mate, should have mentioned, I've changed my triple tree to an 08 superglide to get rid of integrated risers. Also bars I'mm looking at, reduce to 1" at the clamp. Cheers

1 1/2" from Debrix. Some have had issues with them but I haven't. At least the price is right.

Thanks for your help man.

Did you use a one piece top clamp?
When you say some people have had issues, what with strength or quality?

No problems with the product, some have issues with the company.

but the two pieced ones and drill and tap a hole onto the top down into the bar. Then run a allen bolt down into the threaded hole you just made on each riser. They will never bend down.
