Harley Davidson Risers.

Probably one of the hardest parts about manufacturing a handle bar is knowing which riser to make it for. We ask you a lot of questions before you make your initial purchase because we want to make sure we get you the correct handle bar. For years Harley Davidson was always 1" diameter and no matter what handle bar you had it would work. Well times have changed and Harley Davidson now offers quite a few different risers on bikes. We don't know exactly when but we do know it all started with the CVO models when Harley changed the diameter of the handle bar to 1-1/4" for a more beefy look and they decided to spilt the risers for the springers. In 2015 when Harley introduced the re designed Road Glide it was not only 1-1/4" diameter but it had the wire hole facing forward and a pin in the riser. We try our best to make sure our handle bars will fit your bike but there is some cases where we just can not make a one off custom bar to fit your risers regardless if they are Harley Davidson. Factory 47 is a handle bar manufacturing company and we run all of our bars in production so to stop all of our production for one handle bar would shoot up the cost of the bars. But there is a solution if you happen to have a riser that we do not offer a handle bar for, simply change your riser. If we do make you a custom handle bar we charge at least $100 but it is simply just easier to buy a riser that is the standard 1" Harley Davidson diameter not to mention they cost less then $100. Now we understand if you are concerned about safety, we too are riders and always put safety as our top priority. So just make sure they are Harley Davidson brand so you can be sure they have gone through all the safety requirements required by law. Another reason to change your riser is simply just the look, most customers including ourselves who put the Maddogger on the Softail will change to the older style riser because the new riser is way to high and pulled back. Whenever we look for risers a simple solution is Ebay, just search Harley Davidson riser. We really hope this article helps you and trust us after you put a Factory 47 handle bar on your bike the riser is gonna be the last thing someone looks at.
