Default Risers on 48 question
A guy is selling some 10" Z bars on this forum...I'm pretty sure I'm going to buy them but was wondering if I can get risers for my 48? They are only 10" z Bars and with my height (6'2) I think making them 12" will be a little more comfortable

thanks guy

No way to put risers on a 48 since theyre integrated into the trees. I had a 1 1/2" spacer built for my 48. I'm on my phone but search my post for "spacer" and you should find what I'm talking about.

Or I saw somewhere that someone was swapping the upper tree off the new Customs but I never found out how that turned out. You can swap risers on those trees but not the 48s.

New XL1200c (mid glide 39mm) risers will work. 270.00 plus the cost of powder coat and the riser of choice.
