Default Shortest Risers Options

Hello, I have been toying around with the idea of changing to some SHORT risers. I have 6" risers with night train bars on the 2010 WG currently. IMO the shorter risers would give it a more slammed look which is what I am going for.

I have searched ebay and google. All I could find are 1" risers, are there any shorter risers out there?

Thanks very much.

Mate you need about 1/2 inch for the riser bolt to bolt into plus the thickness of the bars so you are not going to find anything shorter than an overall height of 1 1/2 inch.

Yes Alloy Art has a Riser called the Delisle .It is a 3/4 " rise. That is the shortest that I know of

These are Fat Boy Lo risers (and bars) and I think they are plenty low and can be reversed to move the bars forward a bit.

Can't rememer if its kustom Chrome, or chrome works, but I found some 3/4" offset risers. They set the bars right on the trees. With my long reach I opted to flip them backwards to give me an extra inch or so. Been running them 14,000 miles with no complaint.
