Default Short risers for a breakout?

Hello all,
I searched the forums for info about short risers for a breakout and all I found were guys going the other way and/or thunder bike's risers.

Having stupid long arms and just liking the way the TB risers look on my bike I wanted to go the shorter route. I'd pull the trigger on the TB risers, but $300+ shipped is just too much to justify even for cycle parts!

Anyone have any other idea's?

Thanks in advance.

I measured mine and if you go any shorter the speedo housing will contact the tank. Now if you go with a straight riser instead of the OEM curved ones it may give you the distance you desire. Unless you can modify the speedo and flip it around that may work but I looked at the indicator light panel and it would be tough to flip it around the other way.

Yep, they def. have to be straight. The Thunderbike ones are only about 1.5" long and the speedo clears the tank!

I was trying to find someone in the US that made a similar product.

The 2014 CVO Breakout risers are what you're looking for.

If you do the CVO risers, you have to change the top clamp also (a little over $300 total).
