Default WCTB Extensions/Risers

So it looks like 10" MX WCTB that came with my bike are a bit short form me. So I'm thinking easy route - buy WCTB 2" extensions, or complicated route - try to exchange with someone here or buy new / sell mine. But they're internally wired, so a lot of work to swap..
What do you think?

The extenders look pretty good, seen them in person a few times.

I know that after a while though, that would be one of those little things that bothered me. The bars aren't that difficult to swap if you take your time.

I say grab the extenders, they're cheap enough and will take 5 mins to install - if you include opening the beer!

I reckon you wouldn't notice them after a while

Lol Sometimes it's hard to figure out without beer. Risers are easy though - so beer just because it's cold and so good

Just tried similar thing with LA Choppers 1,5 inch extenders for 10'' t-bars but did not find enough confidence in the setup. I think I should have had 4,5 inch bolts instead of 4 inch that I had. I will be going to 12'' bars instead. Felt little freaked out as it seemed there was too much play even with poly bushings. http://www.lachoppers.com/catalog/di...084/index.html

Update. Got 2" "Fat" Handlebar Riser Extensions from DKCustoms. Also replaced bushings with HD poly bushings. They seem to be poly as well, but quality of HD is much better.
Way better now - not so extended.

I raised my wctb up. I had 10" bars but needed taller, so had a local machine shop make me some spacers. Had it at 11.5". But about 2 weeks ago I wanted them raised more, so I used some hardened grade 8 washers and used them as spacers.

My bars are behind a fairing so you can't really see it. But it's worked great for me. Best part is you can really adjust the height by adding or removing them

Hey Kevin, you oughta use izhd's pic of those extensions on your website. When I was shopping for a pair, the only reason I didn't go with yours was that I couldn't find any pics of them mounted. They look great!
