Handlebar Risers and Parts

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.
