Risers
Risers
What are the tallest STRAIGHT (no pull-back) risers available that are still compatible with the OEM riser clamp? In my vast searches I've only been able to find up to 6 1/2 inches. Drop me a line if any of you have come across something taller...more in the area of 8 inches. Thanks.

The top clamp for the custom model sportsters has a bolt pattern specific to that model only. If you want to change risers you will have to change your top clamp to a low or nightster version if you want to keep your speedo and idiot lights on the bars.

Or.....go with T-Bars that you can get even in 16" heights....No risers required. They come in 2", 4", 6", 8", 10", 12", 14" and so on.......also chrome or black.

yep, but even then if you wanna run them internally, then sometimes you gotta lenghten them at less than 3" rise and especially if the new bars are wider.

Width fersure is a major consideration....Myself, I desired the extra width, but that's just me.
I ain't took pics yet cause the new bars, cables, brake hose and speedo mount are yet installed. I'm waiting for a HD-48119 Molex crimp tool to arrive so I can install the HD extended wiring harness I'll need with the taller bars.
You can get T-bars from other suppliers in about any height and width.....Some USA shops will even make them to order....I just suggested them as an extra option for you to consider.
