Default HELP I can't find risers

I am looking for risers that are 8-10 inches. The problem I ham finding is my wide glide has 1-1/4 bars stock and not the normal 1 inch. I cannot find anything over 6 inches for a 1-1/4 bar.

These are the only things I have found that might be even slightly usefull but I really do not want riser spacers I would prefer a solid riser.

You could always have a machine shop open them up a bit.

Ya, with risers you pretty much have to get a new set of bars too...thus why I went with the "tbar".

I think you will find plenty of 6" risers for our 1.25 dia bars but all of the ones taller than that are for the 1" dia bars because so many other bikes use 1" bars. So you're kind of stuck either ordering a custom set or adding riser extensions or going to a 1" bar and getting however tall you can find. I had a lot of trouble even finding 6" risers for the 1.25" bars until I stumbled across LA Choppers online.

I know you said you don't want extensions but might take a peek at LA Choppers riser extensions rather than drop coin on a custom set. I like the extensions they offer cause they look to be cupped well enough that bolted in tight shouldn't have much difference in feel than solid risers that tall http://www.lachoppers.com/catalog/di...084/index.html

The riser things was too hard for the 1.25 bars so I went ahead and ordered a set of 10" t bars. does anybody know if the stock cables will work?

Stock equipment will work with 10" bars. Which bars did you go with?

This is what I got in case anyone else is looking. 8" risers. Cables were a little tight stretch for the clutch cable for my Fatbob, maybe its different on the WG. http://www.ebay.com/itm/HARLEY-8-CHR...item4ac43bc463
