I'm thinking about getting some 4" risers for my '07 Wide Glide. The stock risers are 2 1/2" so the 4"ers would be a 1 1/2 dfference. Looks like there is enough slack in everythng except the front brake line which might work with some massaging.

Has anyone done this?

 

you can make 2 in extensions with some fender washers, plumbing pipe, and hardened bolts... done it a ton... check out my bob and the sporty i did it on
cost 3 bucks
you can at least make this for cheap

 

Thanks for the tip Joe. Didn't know that you had a Sporty also. I've got one too. Very fun to ride.

 

WISH I had that!!! it was my brothers old bike... we did a ton of work to it... if you go to the hardware store you can get everything you need to build the risers... if you need help i will walk you though it

 

I was also wondering if there were any chrome 1" or 1 1/2" spacers that I could put under the stock 2 1/2" risers. The stock risers on a Wide Glide are sharp looking.

 

man that is what i made... a spacer... look at the pic of the bob on top, you see the stock risers are sitting on top of a 1.5 in spacer, made from basic crap you get at a hardware store... same wiht the sporty

 

Gotcha, Thanks for the help Joe! I'm going to hit the hardware store tomorrow. There is one nearby that has a bunch of different chrome and stainless stuff in different sizes. the base of my stock risers where they sit on top of the tree is 1 1/4" in diameter.

 

I'm glad somebody brought this up. I just made a set of 2 inch risers out of some aluminum stock at work. I bought grade 8 bolts. I've been wondering how safe it would be.
