Does anyone know if the dogbone-style riser (from a '07 Bonneville) would fit onto my '04 America?
Thanks in advance for the help!

You mean the riser cap with the logo? I know I've seen it on a cruiser, but it may have required the Bonnie risers too.
Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

I know Islandbum (Benny) has Bonneville risers on his Speedmaster.

The Bonnie top cap will not work on the BA or SM risers. I wanted to do it and checked it out. I liked it because of the logo but it wouldn't work. Dogbone is a name for a totally different type riser. This is a dogbone riser

He's referring to the cap. It's dogbone shaped, but not dogbone risers.

I know, the cap won't line up with our risers. Just figured I would point out what a dogbone riser is since if he asks around people who know bikes will think of what I posted the pic of.

The ones you were posted was my first thought until I saw that he mentioned the Bonneville. I think we scared him off.

I guess this does look like a dogbone.  I have these off-set dogbones on my chopper (rubber damped).

your right Frank i do at that 
i trimmed the rubber cones on the base af the risers -to make them flat
Bonnie's must have a countersunk top tree to suit the riser
i've a set of TBA bars sitting on them and find the position of the bars to my liking

I hope that's an optical illusion because those pinstripes do not look very straight.

Very cool islandbum, I really like the look of that riser setup. Also a fan of the pinwaves as FriarJohn pointed out... J/K - They probably just look curved based on the photo being taken while in motion (just go with that) And if not, it would certainly fall into the category of "character" or "wabi sabi" that we could all find in anything...

Could very well be wavy, 
the pin stripping on mine ain't perfect. 
("custom" stripping, I'm told)
