Default Had to return the risers for the '10 Fatboy

went to the local dealer and ordered 4" sweptback risers from Baron hopin to get that height and 1 1/2" of pullback..upon receiving them,turns out that the ones the dealer ordered for me(based on the info I gave "em) were for 1 " bars...I had thought that my bars were "stock" even though my bike was slightly used when I purchased it..come to find out ,they are 1 1/4 bars..also , thought I had enough cable-length..was wrong on both points..gonna have to change cables it seems if i pursue this route..how is it that posts on here claim 4" risers worked for them w/ stock cables? are there no risers for my 1 1/4 " bars available? getting more frustrated w/ this mod and info received..anyone had the same issues? cant ride over 75 miles without the neck-ache from just the slight " reach" ..any input would be appreciated

1 1/4" bars have narrow centers and ends to accommodate the risers and grips.
About the cables, your on your own.

Some 1 1/4" bars reduce to 1" in the middle to use 1" risers, but not all do, mine do not.

'07 and later Fatboys have 1.25" bars stock. And they are 1.25" at the riser, that's why the Fatboy risers are different part number than the others.

I have a set of the Harley 4" pullback risers if you're interested. Took them off my 2010 Fatboy Lo.

Out of curiosity, what are you looking for them, money wise? Just thinking - hubby is talking about maybe getting pullback risers for his 2013 FB Lo.

I have a 2010 Fatboy and put the 4" risers on (1.25"bars) and the cables are fine.

Everyone said....Just get it over with and get the apes.....They were right. Time to get the apes.
So Im telling you the same thing, just get the mini apes and dont bother with the 2 extra inches your going to get with the risers.
