Generally, you don't need new risers. In fact when I added pullback risers to my bike, I realized that I didn't need new bars.

When I changed to 16" Wild One's on my Cross Bones, the knurling on the bars is real aggressive. The metal the stock riser is made of is pretty cheap. The increased leverage of the ape's chewed up the risers in short order. I tried every conceivable trick to keep the bars firm. Nada. Going to have to change out the risers. So Drew, got anything to replace stock risers that are stronger?

I run Carlini risers that come with a set screw on each riser to hold the bars in place. the funny thing is my Carlini bars do not even have knurling on them but this has been by far the best way to keep the bars in place. Another suggestion until you get new risers that I did with my old bars is to get a chisel, and burr up the knurled part of the bar so there is something for the risers to "grab on to." I also helicoiled the risers so that I could really crank down the riser bolts.
Worst comes to worst drill and tap your current risers for set screws to hold the bars in place. I have all kinds of risers as well.
