Default Difficult answer to find...

Is there a 2" or 3" straight riser on the market that will fit with the stock top clamp (with idiot lights) for a 2009 Dyna Low Rider? I'm looking to put on 1" diameter bars, and don't want to use the stock (pullback) risers.

Have you considered a 2" spacer added to the bottomof your stock risers? Jim Henderson makes them (polished) for the low rider.

The risers are only half the problem. It's what to do with the idiot lights/stock clamp situation, too. You just can't get 2" or 3" straight risers that will fit with the top clamp...why is this so hard to come up with, I wonder?
BTW, who's Jim Henderson? Isn't that the guy that created The Muppets. :-)

I just looked up Jim Henderson. I'll drop these guys a line.
Thanks, Black Bart - best advice yet!

making a spacer is super easy there is a write up i did in the $50 mod thread. you can also look at night train risers i think they are 2.5 or 3 inch, if they are too long you can always cut them down and re thread them
