I know this is an old thread but I am hoping there are still some Rocker owners on here. I am looking to replace my bars and I think I am leaning toward a set of z bars. I like the idea of some fat bars to continue the look of the fat trees. I found these that I really like but I don’t think they will clear my tank without a high set of risers. (I have a 2” tank lift)

I also did find some risers I could use to make it work that have a pretty large diameter but the ones I like have individual top clamps and I am worried they might look funny with the step down in between the risers.

What are others using for risers when doing z bars or apes? What a bars are others using?

I had mine custom made by a local indy, to fit the same as the Rocker short bars(?). I liked the riding position but not so much the bars

What are you using for risers? Any chance you could give more of a close up pick of the bars and risers? I think what you have is similar to what I am looking for but a little taller and a larger diameter. I like the squares look of the bars though.
