I added 6" risers with drag bars on my Blackline and I miss that. If it wasn't a major deal, labor and money on the Breakout, I'd like to do that same set up on it.

Got the same ones. This was the first mod to my bike.

The break line loses its slack when turned all the way left but not tight. I ride more upright and because I am a little back more it's easier to plant my feet on the ground.
Hi, I would like to buy these spacers but I cannot find it.
There is a website to buy it or other ways?
Thank you for your reply

Hi Fabio, try on ebay.com, I bought mine there. Seller name was Jim. He was selling both polished and chromed spacers, 1,5" and 1,75" tall.

If its the spacer jim out of Michigan, I believe he is now out of the game of making/selling those.

I wonder why a company doesn't sell these riser extensions?

I had mine made a local machine shop. I purchased two pieces of aluminum bar stock 1-3/4" diameter x 1-7/8" tall. Dropped them off at the machine shop and asked that they be machined to 1-3/4" tall and bored to clear a 1/2-13 x 4-1/2" bolt.

I had mine powder coated black. I have about $60 in them.
