Hi, I command this riser, wednesday, and i’v got it today ( Friday ) USA ➡️ France 3 days ! Amazing ship ! Thanks bro, i work my bike tomorrow ! ✌️ I just installed them, I was also able to put the mirrors down, which gives a great look to the bike! easy to install, however you need a European size 9 socket or allen key to tighten everything... I also don't have the same management cable which passes through the frame for my part, and I had some loctite on it my studs.. it's perfectly compatible for my 2020 Fat Bob ! thank you for everything 👍

I bought a set of the 3” risers and they look fantastic really change the riding position. I live in the uk and ordered a set on Wednesday morning and they were delivered to my home in the north east of England on the Friday morning!!!!! 2 days unbelievable. I can order from 100 miles away and uk postal service take over a week! Cannot recommended Rich enough. Great guy and super helpful.

Thanks for the step by step. It is very clear. I have one question. Have you mesure the amount of pullback you get from the 3 inches riser?

@buddylove9484 2 жыл бұрын

@DaveGme 2 ай бұрын

Went to the website hoping you made 6” risers. A total of 10.5 would be perfect for me. I know it would need extensions, but I could use the stock 1.5” bars. With the pullback already in the stock risers it would be comfortable. I don’t think anyone else has a product like this.

@bitchinseatco 2 ай бұрын

Hey Dave, We have considered making 4, 5, and 6" longer risers than the stock with the pullback for this application but with machining cost and material in mind I thing we would not have the sales to support the cost I would need to invest. The 2" and 3" kits fill the gap without needing to change out all the wiring, brake line, clutch cable, etc. I figured anything taller than what we make as extension people would simply purchase new or different bars.

Any advantage to the Allen head bolt vs the hex bolt? Great video by the way. Currently have 1.5” risers from CJ but because of your video when I go to purchase the 2” or 3” riser blocks I’ll buy from you.

@wh4398 2 жыл бұрын

The allen head bolts look cleaner, and can fit in tighter spots as you dont need to worry about getting a wrench or socket around the outside.

On your website it says for the ABS version your only comfortable going with a 1.75 in riser. But on this video you put a 3-in riser and it looks just fine.

@bitchinseatco 2 ай бұрын

Good morning, you may have ben looking at some other brand risers regarding the 1.75" in rise. We are the originators of the 2" and 3" riser extensions for the 2018 on up FatBobs. The 2" kit is the tallest riser you can go with for the Non ABS 18 up FatBob without modifying the brake lines by lengthening or changing them out. The 3" kit fits the 18 up models with ABS without changing the brake line on those. Thank you !! Rich

Thank you for your interest on our Fat Bob Upgrades, Check out our Fat Bob custom seats when you get a sec. Back in the day I would get them at the Orange County Swap meet here at the Fairgrounds in SoCal. Not sure where to get these extra large Bandanas these days, let me know when you find out.

Thanks for the video. What was the total height after the spacers were installed? About 6"?

@bitchinseatco 10 ай бұрын

✌The stock Risers are 4-1/8" tall and our riser extensions are 2" or 3" so add 2" or 3" to what you have on your bike currently and that is it buddy. Remember the Fat Bob trees are on an angle back towards you so our 3" extensions lift the bars up approximately 2" and back about an 1".

Hello, so what is the total height of the riser+riser extension?

@bitchinseatco 2 жыл бұрын

So the risers add either 2 or 3 inches to your handle bars depending on what risers you buy. Keep in mind that if you want the three inch risers extensions, you must have ABS on your bike!

I installed these exact risers just now, all went well till I realized that the brake cable is too tight (!!!!). it’s a 2022 Fatbob 114 with ABS (!!). Any suggestions how to resolve it ?. It doesn’t look as loosen up as it’s shown in the video.

Whats happening sir, This is Rich the created of these components. I made these the first of the year 2018 for the first FatBob that showed up in my shop. I personally installed hundreds of these and distributed thousands of them world wide without a problem, so I'm wondering if there is some other kind of problem. Maybe you could give me a call in the AM so I can help diagnose the problem. or you can Email me rich@bitchinseats.com
