Default Riser extensions advice needed

Anyone have any info on the easiest way to lengthen my stock 2013 street bob's risers by 1 to 1.5 inches? Do they make spacers/extensions that aren't straight, but rather angled to use the 2013 stock style dome clamp that goes on top? (Hope that makes sense). Trying to avoid buying all new risers/domes just to add an extra inch. Did some searching but haven't been able to find what I'm looking for. Thanks in advance for any input!

i did a write up on this about 4 years ago... ok... here is what you do:
first decide how all you want to go... pull the stock bolt that feeds up from the bottom of the tree and into the stock handlebar clamp... take that to home depot or the hardware store... get a 1 or 2 in longer HARDENED bolt that matches the same threads and demensions just longer... then pick up a box of fender washers that match the bolt (they should be around the size of a quarter or half dollar)... now take a walk over to plumbing and pick up a piece of chrome piping that matches the circumfrance of the washers (the piping that i used was the kind that is under sinks... thin and chrome, it does not bear weight it is just for looks).... last thing to get is a push chrome cap that fits the pipe. ooh ya and some lock tite
Now how to do it:
pull your bars and pull your stock bar clamps off... find the exact center of the push caps and drill that out to match the circumfrance of the new bolts you will be using... measure out how high you want to raise your bars, then just count out the number of washers it will take to acomplish the lift. after you know the amount of washers it will take measure the stack of washers (goes without saying but make sure both of your stacks have the same amount of washers)
cut your plumbing pipe to match the height of the washers, BEFORE CUTTING, put some packing tape around the area to be cut, this will prevent the chrome from flaking, after both peices are cut file down the rough edges and put it all together (use just a touch of marine grease on the washers to prevent any squeeking... just a touch) mine squeeked a bit but my dads and brothers never made a peep... just tighen it all down and there you go! 3 dollar risers!

i ran them on my bike years ago


did taller ones on my bro's old sporty

Does anyone know the stock riser bolt size and pitch for a '15 street bob? I know someone posted a link where you could search parts and find info like this but can't seem to find my bookmark. Thanks!
