Hmm- try fleabay? what are you trying to do- get some more reach to bars? may want to consider having the seat reshaped, it can be done in a way that shifts your sitting 1" or so forward vs having to modify the risers or bars. and it's more stealthy.

i made some at 1.75 " should have made a couple of sets i guess. Turn down a 2" solid piece of stock cut to length and drill. I cant remember how long the bolts i bought were, but remove 1 and add the lenght of the riser and your there. Maybe ask a machine shop if you cant find any.

On ebay you can find 1,5" and 1,75" polished or chromed.
I had a custom made 1" chromed spacers made by same eBay seller.

I have been looking for awhile myself with no luck. So I ended up just going to a local machinist shop that does some work for my company I work for. They made some out of aluminum stock at 1 1/4" tall. Best thing is they were completely free! I love free mods.

I've got a set of the non chrome spacers your looking for that I could part with. I ended up going all out and doing 10" strip bars and the thunderbike mini risers after a year on the spacers. They are 1.75 inches I believe. Cheep $$ PM me if you want them.

Hey jerseydrew, I did the same. Remove 1 Bolt from the stock riser, measure and add 1.75 to it. Get grade 8 bolts. It will be a noticable improvement even though it's only 1.75 inches.

The bolts that came with the 1.75 inch risers that I ordered from eBay are 4 inches long
