Removing these custom riser
Probably a dumb question 
and not sure where this thread should be, but here it is. I bought a used Sportster last year. The original owner had many modifications done to the bike; one in particular is the riser. I am planning to change the current drag bar to ape handlebars, but my problem is removing the current bars.
The risers are made by Choppers Inc, .44 mag style.
My question has anyone or does anyone know how you remove the top cap so I that the riser bolts are exposed and I can remove the handlebars?
I appreciate any help.

NSCoyote- I actually removed the riser with the drag bars still on, to look underneath, and did not see any small screw that will help me remove the cap. I’m close to buy a set of risers and not worry about this problem. It will be better on my wallet if I can reuse the risers.
95cutmz- I can try to pry out but on the JPCYCLE website, where the current owner bought the riser, is says there is a concealed stud that will help remove the cap. It’s really concealed, cause I can find it!!!!!!

Here are some pics of my risers.....Unless I need to use a grip tool, it is really hard to twist the cap....Might be too small, took them with my phone.

That goes along with NSCoyote's suggestion to try unscrewing the top part.
Either way, be careful and you can make back some of your money by selling those on Ebay.
