Default Shorter risers

Looking to swap bars on my bike has anyone used shorter risers on this road King? Only dropping down to 1 1/2 risers but don't know if it will interfere with the nacelle and the handlebar cover

I have basically a 94 road King, no bars yet that's why I'm asking can't really take pics of what you don't have. Thinking about going with 10 or 12 inch apes

You should be good. I dont see why it would be an issue. Just curious why change risers if you are still using the cover? What is the overall height you are trying to get?

Not looking for a stock set, was thinking that I could use shorter risers to help accommodate taller bars since I can't seem to find the bars I want for the price I want. But it won't work anyway there is only about 1/2 inch from the nacelle to the bars and going with shorter risers the bars will hit the nacelle.

Something doesn't sound right. There's no way the nacelle should be an issue... These are stock risers that have been used on many models for many years... But whatever.....

What doesn't sound right is your not understanding what I'm trying to do, I have stock risers, I don't need a set, I was usingt to accommodate taller bars and use shorter risers, but whatever I'll figure it out just like I did with the rest of the conversion on my flhs

Sorry I must have misunderstood you. I thought you were looking for inch-and-a-half risers... good luck
