Found some at titebike.com but I'm not sure it's a legitimate website. Anyone know where these genmar spacers might be available?

I just did a search for GenMar and got more results than I could provide links to. Have at it!

Yeah genmar manufacturing on Facebook but web page won't load, phone call answers with "you won a Walmart gift card. I think they're permanently closed. There's a genmar industries but they make boats.

Thanks for that. Problem is they're for 7/8" bars. I've found several for 1 1/8" and 7/8". Barons Customs has a set for 1" bars but they are 1 1/2" rise which makes throttle cables too tight at full left lock. Trying to avoid new cables or changing to IS throttle boss. May have to get some new risers as mentioned in this forum. Sent a FB message to genmar to see if they are still open and have the H121 risers I'm looking for. They're last FB post was 2018 so not holding my breath.

Those look like the riser links that broke on Daniel Meyer while he was riding.

Those Barron's riser spacers are listed for Yami Venture 1" bars, so they may or may not work for Valk. (call?)

Some with taller risers with throttle cable trouble at lock have relieved the trouble by rerouting the cables inside the triple tree.  Pad tank, loosen riser bolts, slide bars left, remove and reroute cables inside tree, reinstall cables at grip.

I have not done it, only read about it. 

The risers Dan Meyer posted breaking were complete aftermarket 4" risers, including the top clamp that cracked.  Riser spacers reuse your OE top clamps.

Tried the Baron's and sent them back. Thought about rerouting throttle cables but seems like they would kink at full right lock. I had the genmar spacers or maybe they're called extensions on my previous Valkyrie back in 2000 and the 1" made a big difference but guess they're just not available anymore. Think maybe I've found some different risers that are 3.5" rise and 1.5" pull back that may work just have to try them to find out. Of course these are 1/2"x13 threads so will have to buy adapter studs or drill out triple tree a little.

I had the 1" riser add-ons you're looking to put on.  But then I switched to these and really like the way the bars feel.

Thanks Randy I've already ordered the other risers so guess I'll need to give them a try but may be in touch with you.
