     Hi all, can anyone help you what I should do !! I have a fatboy 2012, I suffer from a very bad lower back, I'm thinking of getting risers or new handlebars, when I ride I'm learning forward which causes my back soreness, I'm thinking of the risers with a curve, so then my back will straighten up when I ride.. Can anyone help with photos or recommendations please..

    Go to a dealer as most have a mocked up bike you can interchange different seats bars and risers to quickly which helps work things out

    I went HD and they are putting 4inch curved risers on as I'm typing this message... Fingers crossed

    Hope it works out - it can make all the difference.
    If not a bit of trial and error to get things right hopefully without costing too much!

    +1 with what fatbat said, most dealers can do a mock up, i also have a fatboy and a bad lower back lol. Hopefully the curved risers work for you but that alone might not be the answer. You might need to try a new seat, i went into frasers with the same drama and found the fatboy seat made me slip into the seat (slouch), bought myself a brawler solo and bike feels alot comfier + more control over the bike

    Nice work with the risers. I got the same ones on my fat which I got off mongrel from this forum.
