Risers for a Road King

Anyone of you know of any handle bar risers that will work with 1 1/4 bars that will rise up 1 1/2 to 2 inches on a Road King? Are there any risers that work with the Road King?

I'm wondering why you would need a riser, when all you need to do is change to a pair of mini apes or tall apes? I, personally, have never seen a riser used on an RK. Most RK owners go to the mini apes.

I've seen risers where the owner used a hole saw to cut 2 holes thru the cover, then the risers stick thru the holes - looked OK

The V-Twin catalog offers a finished Chrome cover with the holes already in them for cheap. Then pick a set of risers you like and get the bars where you want them.

I love the look and I am very comfortable with my HD Beach Bars, the only reason I want to rise them up a bit is cause I can not get full lock turn if I need to without hitting my legs in a slow turn manuever. I rarely need to do that, but I would like to have the complete control of the bike without turn my leg out to make a turn. So all I need is about 1 1/2 clearance. Thanks for the feedback I will look into it some more.
