Default 48 question

I bought a z bar for my 48 1 inch riser location and where the gross and controls go 1 1/4 z taper. Come to find out that the bars do not fit, they hit the fork tube covers on to the triple tree. Went to harley Davidson trying to find a riser to figure out that my riser is integrated into the triple tree. Do they make a riser "spacer" that I would be able to mount these bars. It literally needs 3/4 inch space to make everything work

Yes, Loner Industries make 1" and 2" spacers for the 48. They also make the top triple tree so you can use other handlebars. There's another company that also makes the top triple tree, I don't recall right now.

I am Loner's Industry waiting list for the 1" riser. I think they only produce them in batches and sell out very quickly. Been waiting 3 months now.
