Greetings,

There's springer-specific bars out there that you need. Drag Specialities makes several that'll work fine with your application. Just make sure you get the one that is labeled "Springer."

I don't own a Springer, but I have friends who do. They used "dogbone" risers.

+1 on the Wild 1 Chubby's. Just make sure you order the ones designed for a Springer. What's nice about them is that they are the thicker bars that still work with the stock risers.

springer bars are different ....the standard size for HD bars are 3 1/2 ( I think) .. springers are wider ... it must say on the description "for HD springer style " risers ... check out chromewerks or paughco
