    has anyone fitted taller risers on an 09 fatbob if so did they help the reach and handling for a shortass. Also what size did you get and where from?

    I've got the 6" pullback risers on mine, I'm only 5'10" & I've found to be a better riding position.

    Just be aware 2011 and later Fat Bobs have a shorter clutch cable installed stock. You can;t get the same play out of them as earlier models. I believe you can only go up about an inch with the 2011-12 risers without a cable change.

    Sorry but that's not entirely true roadrunner, it's best to check the build date on your VIN sticker, 2011 models with a late 2010 build date still had the slightly longer cable. As was the case with my bike I managed to get 2inch extensions on with no issues!!
