Buy them, cut them down, drill and tap.

I'm not mechanically inclined

You know forgot I had on 6 inch skinny risers ( as a mock up ) the same height as the night train a couple a weeks ago for my other bars ( sold them ) and the height is right i don't need the 8 the 6 will be fine and they will be the Covingtons , so i'm all set now ! I'm debated what kind of bars yet...

185 bucks for risers?!?! Holy ****! Forget that. Hey man I got a solution for you... Buy 6" black risers off ebay or craigslist, then go down to you nearest metal shop, buy a 2" piece of solid steel stock, take it to a lathe, drill a hole through the center, clean and polish, paint, and BINGO! you got your self some 2" risers that you can add to the 6" ones. Make sure you get longer screws because you have to pass the 2" homemade risers. I did this at the welding shop I work at and it works great.
