The Custom I thought already had quite a high riser.

The only way I see that working is requiring longer bolts to take care of the height of the additional rise. Is that a good idea? IDK.

Are you asking about spacers for under the risers or taller risers that can be used with the top clamp/speedo mount?

These 2" riser extensions utilise the stock riser, they come in black or chrome finish with extra long bolts. They are available on Fleabay for around $30 for the kit.

They would work if the OP wants to extend at the top of the current riser. I think some form of clarification is required.

The top yoke is flat bottomed so they wouldn't work below the current riser.

Yes, the riser extensions sit on the top of the stock risers, they are inverted in the photos as the won't sit on the rounded part to be photographed.

I want to use the stock riser but would like it to be 2" higher. I thank all who have replied.
Any chance you could post a link to those on ebay RRR, I looked and there are hundreds.

Thanks for your reply, the eBay item number for those 2" high riser extensions is 304785296366, you have to let the seller know which colour you require when you place the order.

Best Regards,

Rab.

Those riser extensions would look like pooh because it would leave a large gap between the OEM riser and the top clamp. Buy a set of the OEM Custom
style risers off eBay and cut the bottom 2" and add it under yours.
