That link is stupid and not working properly. I'm considering something like this an an option but don't know if it will work on the Springer front end.

I am pretty sure you will need Springer specific risers.
I may have seen adapters so that regular risers may be used, but I could be wrong.

I was talking about the link I posted. I'm calling my own attempt at helping myself stupid.

Put "Springer risers" into a search engine and go through the image section. Click on the ones you like

I tried that. Pretty much everything that was taller than stock was for aftermarket forks. I'm wondering if something like
this this
might be an option? Not trying to be cheap, just trying to find something that will work. These by design, are universal.

G'Afternnon, Woods....
Chris, try putting a type of cushion on the bag to move you forward. Something like those firmer foam seat/cushions they sell for hunting. If it works then you can modify it and add it onto your pack

I thought about it after I posted. To many points of failure and they look stupid.
