Softail Risers

Risers for the Harley-Davidson Softail, '84-'17. Risers set how far the bars sit up and back, and with the bars they decide your whole upper body position.

What Is In This Collection

Risers, handlebars and risers and riser bushings, from LA Choppers, Alloy Art, Biltwell, Kodlin, Thrashin Supply and Drag Specialties.

Softail Fitment

Softail covers '84-'17 - FXST, FLSTF Fat Boy, FLSTC Heritage, FXSTB Night Train, FLS Slim and FXSB Breakout. These are cable-throttle bikes. 2018 and up is the M8 Softail, a different platform - see M8 Softail Parts.

Years that change what fits:

2000 - the Softail took the Twin Cam, a year after Touring and Dyna.
2018 - the Milwaukee-Eight Softail replaced both the Softail and the Dyna on a new frame.

Three Numbers Decide It

Bar diameter - 1 inch and 1-1/4 inch risers are not interchangeable. Riser bolt spacing on the top clamp. Rise and pullback, which together decide where your hands end up. The thing people forget: raising the bars more than an inch or two usually means the stock cables, brake lines and wiring no longer reach - see Cables & Handlebar Kits. Riser bushings are a wear item, and worn ones feel like vague, wandering bars.
