Riser Spacer?
YOUR opinion. How do YOU know he's not sporting a 1/4 fairing, or might possibly like the look? Don't slam me for directing the guy to riser extensions - I didn't force them on him, I only made him aware of them to give options. If he likes them, good - if not, that's fine too. I am astutely aware that you are the arbiter of what everyone likes, wants, and should have. What hole did you crawl out of this early in your morning?

Rude? Check the tone of your post - 3 exclamation points, your self-proclaimed statement that they'd "look aweful!" Well, look at that - another exclamation point. My post stands. Turn down your tone and contribute something.

Hope no one attacks me for this opinion, but I think one-piece spacer would be ideal, you would almost need to match the profile, at least in the front of the riser, to make it look right. Or like someone else mentioned, mount a fairing to cover it up.
Not a lot you can do with that Custom riser.

I bought the same parts as Thumper bought and it turned out fine on my 08. As long as the part has a quality finish you'll be fine. No one would notice that its not stock unless their going over the bike with a magnifying glass. I got the parts at Lowes. Menards sell them also along with DK Customs.
The inch made a huge difference. Even on 10 mile rides I would get a kink in the shoulders. Now I can do 100 with no problem.

i agree... matching the custom riser would be IDEAL... a friend of mine suggested about adding a tool bag to cover up those ebay spacers... just some other idea's being thrown out there...

I like the looks of the Custom's riser block. Getting it to stand up a bit higher (15...20mm?) would anyhow open up new possibilities.
Yes. A milled slab of aluminium should do the trick. Therefore, quite honestly, I'm a bit surprised nobody is offering it. There's plenty of Custom Sportys with the "block riser" around.
Any pics?
