Buying Guide and FAQs
Buying Guide: Factors to Consider When Choosing Harley Bike Handlebar Risers and Parts
- Compatibility: Ensure risers and parts fit your Harley's model (e.g., Dyna, Softail, Sportster, Touring, FLHR, Road Glide, Street Glide) and year (e.g., 2006+, 2018+ for some relocation brackets). Use the vehicle selector for precise matches, noting requirements like 1/2"-13 bolts or stock hardware to avoid fit issues.
- Type of Use: For tall bars or T-bars, choose relocation brackets or pullback risers for comfort and gauge positioning; street or custom builds benefit from bone-style or assault risers (6"-10" heights) for aggressive style and stability in varied conditions.
- Components and Upgrades: Select straight or pullback risers, relocation brackets, or solid bushings. Add features like one-piece clamps, carbon fiber covers, or countersunk bolts for enhanced functionality and hidden wiring.
- Brand and Quality: Opt for Todd's Cycle for bone-style billet risers, Paul Yaffe Bagger Nation for spacers, Trask for Assault designs with cover plates, Slyfox for straight/pullback options, or Speed Merchant for solid bushings. Prioritize 6061-T6 aluminum or steel with black, raw, or chrome finishes for durability and corrosion resistance.
- Installation and Cost: Most are bolt-on using stock or included hardware (e.g., top clamps); bushings eliminate spongy feel. Prices range from $48.95 for bushings to $405.95 for pullback risers—factor in USA-made quality and free shipping over $99 for value.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
- What Harley models do these handlebar risers and parts support? Parts support models like FLHR (for spacers), Touring/throttle-by-wire (for Assault risers), and general Harley bikes for relocation brackets and bushings—use the year/make/model filter for exact compatibility.
- How do relocation brackets improve setup? They allow mounting tall risers or T-bars while keeping the stock gauge module, replacing existing risers/clamps with 3-1/2" on-center holes for easy hardware use.
- What materials and finishes are available? Primarily 6061-T6 aluminum or steel, with finishes like black, raw, or chrome for style and resistance to elements.
- Do these include installation hardware? Yes, risers often include top clamps and hardware; bushings use stock riser hardware or come with stainless bolts—check for 1/2"-13 threading.
- What if a part doesn't fit my Harley? Verify clamping area (1" or 1-1/4"), rise, and model before buying. Our returns policy allows exchanges or refunds if it doesn't match.
- Can I find related handlebars and controls parts? Yes—explore handlebars, grips, cables, or full controls in the Harley handlebars and controls category to complement your riser upgrade for better ergonomics.
