eBay riser question
I am looking to add some 3" risers to my '07 Street Bob and I stumbled upon these risers on eBay during my search. I am thinking these would be a great cheap way to see how I like the setup. However the details aren't very specific as to what they fit, they seem like they are Drag Specialty brand but I am not sure if they are for 1" bars or even for an HD. Does anyone have any insight on what these might fit? I did ask the seller if they know what they fit but I have not heard back yet.

Another option I had considered was using a couple of deep well sockets with longer bolts to see how I like the feel, anyone advice against that? I am not trying to be cheap but I don't want to drop around $100 to find out that I don't like the feel.

Wow, those are really roached, and one end has holes drilled in them. Can't imagine how a riser could take that much abuse. I wouldn't pay a nickel for those.
You might try using two sockets or a stack of washers to mock up the bars and see how they feel, but I wouldn't ride with them.
Keep looking, I've bought perfect risers on ebay for good prices, you can also look at the for sale and want to buy sections here.

They have riser extensions that would be a lot cheaper. I wouldn't go higher than 2-3 inches with em but if you're just looking for a slight bump in height, it may be the way to go.

Thanks, yes I want to keep my stock bars because I already have them internally wired. I just want to get a few more inches of height out of them and I am looking for the best/economical way of doing it.
So something like these will work for me? riser extensions
