Riser extensions, wouuld you use them?
I want to "raise the bar" on my FXDL-S and am having a bitch of a time finding 8" risers for a 1.25" bar. I came across riser extensions, which would be silly easy to install. But I am not sure how I feel about them, and using 2" longer bolts.

They do, but I actually like the drag bar that comes with the S, I just need it up a couple more inches... I'd prefer to use solid risers, but I'll be damned if i can find 8" risers for a 1.25" bar...

I have the LA Choppers 1.5 inch extensions. Only have about 300 miles with them on but no problems yet. It's a cheaper option than getting taller bars you may not like. Also, when did you get the LRS? Sharp man! Congrats!

I put a set of 2" DK Custome Fat risers on about 2 weeks ago as seen here.

Just fit on my wide glide without lengenthing any cables. Although I did have to remove one of the cable retainers to let the front brake line have some more room.
Not real big on the idea of a spacer in there but they feel just as solid as they did before. I was trying to determine what to do with my bar as they just didnt fit me & didnt want to go with a full riser setup just to find out I that wasnt right either. Good cheap way to test it all out & at this point I'm happy enough to keep them and spend that money somewhere else.

I saw the DK's - the advantage they have is they come with the bolts. The LA Choppers version is machined to let the riser sit in a "cup" which probably makes no difference, except it looks like it would be more secure...
