They make tons of risers for 1-1/4" diameter bars. Are you specifically looking for a 2" rise or would an 1-1/2" rise work?

Also, are you planning to use a nacelle? If so, in order to use the riser cover on the nacelle you are very limited to what risers you use.

If you're looking for that "flat-top" look Carlini's Piston Risers look pretty cool.

Are your bars stepped down for the risers or not?

You should always use loctite or else you will be leaving a trail of parts to your crash scene.

The set screw goes in the bottom riser from the top then the bar gets clamped down on top of it. There is no way for it to back out

It doesn't go in from the bottom like the riser bolts.
