Default Looking for a good set of risers?

Put 14" rise on my handlebars and they still look too short for me (I'm 6'3) I saw Paughco risers and thought these would be nice? Can this setup work on a 2010 Superglide? Any problems going from a full plate to these?

I hope this works out for you. I just bought a set of 8" risers like this for my 2010 WG. I'm putting a set of 28" Flanders drag bars with 4" of pull back on them. (Sorry no pics yet. The bars are being shipped right now.) It won't change my hand position much, but it sure will look cool.

I don't see why not. Those Paughco's are my favorite risers for sure. Well, brass risers look nice as well, but that being said I can't see why they wouldn't work. Might have to extend a few wires and cables though. I am assuming your Super Glide doesn't have those retarded integrated risers like the Street Bob, correct?

That is the one thing I HATE about my Bob, I am lucky I found a new (used) top tree to replace it!!! Now I just need to find some short 1.5"-2" riser for it (black of course).

Any way I think those risers will look good on your ride (OP). You could always just get some 16"-18"'s and install a whole new set and sell the current ones as a set, I'm sure you would have any issues selling them quick on here.

Good Luck!

Many years ago I tried a set of risers like the ones pictured. With the rubber riser mount and no solid cap across from one riser to the other the bars were constantly twisting. There was no way to tighten the top clamps tight enough to prevent this from occuring. I had to replace the rubber riser mounts with solid ones. This of course increased the vibration through the bars quite a bit.
