Best Breakout risers for apes?
I’m interested in putting 14 inch Apes on my 2016 Breakout. The stock risers with the built-in gauge are 3 inches. I am looking for 1 inch risers that still have the gauge mounted in the correct position. Ideally I would like to keep the top clamp riser with 1 inch straight risers bolted to the bottom, I’m looking for anything compatible. Any advice or help on this subject would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

I have been going through the struggle for the last few weeks. Searched many threads and read many posts. Due to the skirt on the upper clamp, the ONLY option that will work AND look right is the Thunderbike risers. I think there is another company out there that makes the same straight risers at slightly different heights. But either way, these are your choices unless you go with CVO risers, which I can't seem to find. I don't know if they are obsolete and not made anymore, or just in such high demand that no one has them currently. I went with the gloss black 52mm straight risers from Thunderbike. I will be using 16 inch 1.5 inch bars. I'll post pictures once it's all done.

Risers
I had a difficult time on the Thunderbike website bc it’s out of the country. Is there a US Thunderbike site? Those risers they have would be perfect bc they go with the stock upper clamp. There must be another site that has those lower clamps. Do you happen to know the exact dimensions of the Thunderbike lower clamp.

I don't think so, but it's super easy to navigate. And holy ****!!! The shipping was FAST!! I ordered them on Thursday, and they were at my door on Monday!!! That's insane! From Germany! It takes stuff longer than that when it ships out of Jacksonville just 2 hours down the road. But then again, shipping was like $60 UPS (which was the cheapest they offered).

nice looking SB eric cuzzz!!!!! Do you have any issues with those pipes? I doesn't look like any baffles are in those pipes. Just wondering because I never hear the end of people bitching about pipes without baffles, and how you're going to blow you motor up in just 1 mile if you run pipes without baffles. I really wanted to put some LAF drag pipes on my SB, but everyone said that it would burn the exhaust valve just on start up and some stupid crap like that. Just wondering how yours runs... And do you have anything like a V&H FP3 to tune it?
