Help - Looking for riser kit
As we know, the newer Sportsters have an offset bolt pattern on the clamp for the 1" handlebar. I am trying to slide the forks up through the triple Tree's (to lower the bike) and presently there is only about 3/4" that you can do it.
Does anyone know of an offset riser kit that will bring the bars up higher?
Thanks!

You've got to watch when moving those forks up to far in the trees.....before you know it, you'll be smaking the front fender off of the lower tree. 
However, you didn't state what size riser or type of sporty you currently have, (missing needed info), so we could point you in the right direction. I wouldn't see why you could go to a set of Sporty "C" model risers to accomplish what you want. More than that and your front tire will probably be constantly rubbing the lower tree.

sorry, I am putting xr1200 forks with the xr1200 TTT's on the bike. The bike is a 2008 Nightster. Stock Nightster has 39mm dia forks and the xr1200's are 51mm. On travel, the stock Nightster forks are 29 inches tall and the xr1200's are 31
