Handlebars extension kit on stock bars?
I have an 06 street Bob and want my bars a inch or so higher. My wires are external but I do have that center cover over the risers. I see that I can extend it but when I search I don't come up with much results on these bars. Anyone done it or know some good options? I'm looking for chrome for sure and would like a kit so I get bolts as well.

My issue is do does not make a chrome riser, and I have found some but I would need longer bolts. Can I just grab some from home Depot that match the threads? Nobody has experience with this? I'm amazed nobody has tried this. I attached a photo I found online of the type of risers I have. Granted mine just say Harley Davidson but you get the point.

So you don't want a riser?
What size bars do you have now?
Saw some wedge looking things on Amazon as I look for solid black risers three to four inch.

From what I read it's known as riser extensions. I want chrome and the bars are 1". The risers I have now are a bit less than 1" I think. I'm going to measure tomorrow. I want chrome.

You've got things a little confused here,, it's OK.
You need/want new "risers".
The center cover is the "clamp",, you keep that with the same bolts and use it.
Risers of different heights (in chrome) are available from about 100 different suppliers for Harley Davidson bikes.
The risers are simply removed/replaced with a bolt through the bushings in the upper fork brace, it's takes a 3/4" wrench.
Just search for risers;
