Thanks for that. I've already ditched the stock deluxe riser for some 1 1/2,'' high fatboy risers which have no pullback. The carlini bars I was thinking about are 1 1/4 and I assumed that they stepped down to 1". Will these not work?

 

Hey ... how about a set of 'dogbone' offset risers ... I am using a fairing (different mfr) and it has been working well for me ... I had to have them cut down about 1/2" by a machine shop ...





... or you could just get a shorter set ...



... I like the nostalgic look of the dogbones ...

 

... or these ...

 

Thank you, I really appreciate the detailed info. I've checked out your site and I'm thinking that 2 tone white gold/pewter or just white gold would look awesome.

Thanks again!

 

1 1/2 will work with most bars, but I doubt you will be happy with where your apes end up. I could be wrong, but you won't have the rotation room that you would have with a pull back riser. Again, the bow in the bars will help. I looked at some online, and it looks as though the do not step down. I'm not sure what that means for you as far as the riser goes.

Also, someone else posted a picture of the electraglide bars that come back toward the rider before heading straight up. Seems like a great solution, but, because they are much wider than bars designed for the FL Softails, the excess bar sticking out further than the width of your forks poses a problem. Because that excess sticks out above the mounting locations they will interfere with the bracket sliding into position meaning you would have to shave material off of the bracket to get in place. That style of bar would work great, as long as it is not wider than your forks.

 

Hey! Thanks for checking out the site. We just did that two tone color for a customer about a month ago.

My two cents on two tone vs solid. If you're looking for more of a Street Glide look, then go with a solid white outer. If you lean more toward the Ultra spectrum then I'd go with the two tone.

Also, if you go with painting the inside white, I would break it up a bit with black speakers. (I've included a picture to illustrate this) Only because the black helps to break up that bright color more so than would the standard silver option.

Thanks again!

 

Those are pretty cool. Never seen them before. That pull back should work well. Are those rubber grommets in there? Is that design supposed to help with vibration?

Pretty sure you were talking about mine. The apes are a little wider than the forks but not by much. I have seen many softails with the same width apes on them. I also have no issues taking my fairing on and off. I didnt have to mod the mounting bracket at all. The issue I had was getting apes wide enough to clear were the stereo goes. Here is a link to previous discussion on this topic. I will say Chucky from LA Choppers was great to work with when I was trying to decide if I should go with the bagger apes. I was considering Gangster apes because I believe they fix the issue as well just to expensive for me to try out then find out they would not work. If anyone has questions feel free to PM me.
