Default Riser Extensions

So, i was super excited to mount up my new FMB bars (which btw are f'ing awesome!) and I have a clearance issue with the tops of the fork legs. The bars have spikes that extend down from the bottom on either end of the cross tube and I am about a 1/2 long. I really don't want to buy new risers and happened on these https://www.jpcycles.com/product/405...for-1-1-4-bars

Anybody have experience with extensions like this?

Those things seemed to be much more prevalent a long time ago. I ran them in the mid '80's. They worked well. The ones I had matched the risers perfectly so you didn't even notice them. Cheaper than getting new risers. I had them on for a year or two until I sold that bike. You will probably have to get longer riser bolts.

Ended up going with these, https://www.denniskirk.com/la-choppe...prd/597708.sku Look sick on the bike and gave the extra room I needed.
