Friggin' A, thats the truth. And sometimes they don't even know the parts book.

Is the actual riser area 1-1/4 too? On my Wild 1's the riser area is recessed and steps down to 1 inch. If that is the case, then you might look into an older OEM Heritage riser on Ebay. If you are able to look at auctions that have already ended, then check out # 290393748581

Look at the second picture in the line up, and see how the area for the bars is sort of off set? I think you could actually have the bars mount backwards an inch, or forward an inch from the regular central location. I also think the top clamp would face the correct direction, and match up with the holes either way the risers are facing.

Just a suggestion...

Don't forget the cables. If you raise the bar 4" some of your cables may need to be extended which might require replacing them. I am looking into the same situation but don't want to drop the big $'s on bars, cables, labor...etc.... If your cables can stretch that distance, make sure you can still turn the bars completely both directions without them getting tied up.
