Default Apes / Nacelle question..

I recently bought 20" apes as well as the freight train nacelle upgrade. As per the HD website, I was forced to buy a riser kit (56789-05) to fit under the nacelle riser cover. Unfortunately, this kit comes with two riser clamps and I'm looking for a top clamp for a more solid grip, obviouslly one that would fit under the cover. Ideally I want some Wild1 1.5" risers with their top clamp, but I'm not sure that will fit under the nacelle cover. I suppose the point of this post was to see who was running the nacelle and what was the risers they used....

I should mention that although my apes are 1.25", they drop to 1" where the bar meets the risers. The risers are for 1.25" bars, so that would mean I would have to buy a riser adapter that adds girth to the reduced portion, or just buy risers for a 1" bar.. Something tells me that the adapated is not very smart...

Thanks in advance..
