A guy on here 128auto sells the kit. It's a bolt that replaces your fork pinch bolt on one end and on the other end a stock turn signal can screw in. They're machined together pretty well. He said it meets all OEM specs.

Hey! The bike is looking good!
Might try some riser extensions and pull back your handlebars a bit...that will give you some height AND get them closer to you.
Finding the perfect handlebar position for You-
This is the way that has always worked for me to get the most comfortable handlebar position-
Sit on your bike
Have someone hold it up straight for you
Put your feet on the pegs
Close your eyes
Put your hands out to where it is most comfortable to hold them
Open your eyes...where ever your hands are, that is where you want the handlebar grips to be.

Maybe try a 1" or so DK riser extension and pulling the bars back about an inch? Looks like that would put them close to where mine are with Joker 900 series riser, DK 1" ext. and D.S. Superbars perpendicular to the ground.

Not really sure how that's going to get them closer to me though? It'll just raise them up.

Ahh okay, total blonde moment. Maybe I'll go with the 1.5" or 2" do you have any issues with tank clearances?

I have the 1.5" lift with stock height Joker risers that are HUGE with 1" DK spacers underneath and I don't have any issues, but the corner of the top clamp is only about 3/16" from the tank at full turn.

Hmm maybe I will have some issues then. You don't have any problems with handlebar clearances do you? Maybe I'll shoot DK customs a PM here and see what he thinks. Even an inch would make a difference though.

You have a 2" tank lift? Mine at 1.5" puts the tank at the worst possible spot for clearance with my 2.5" total riser height, but keep in mind the Joker series 900 is about the largest ones I've seen out there. Can't imagine yours being even as bad. Even .5" in either direction, up or down would give more clearance. Anything taller than 1.5" just adds more clearance. I haven't been able to inflict any clearance issues with anything yet, but the mirrors are about 3/8" and speedo about 5/8".

Yeah I just have the stock nightster risers on them now. I couldn't even flip my mirrors on these bars before I did a tank lift that's why I'm wondering about the overall clearance too. I guess I'll just have to take a good look at the bike and see though. I'm sure you're right I just can't get the picture in my head clearly enough.
