1" riser spacers/extensions non chrome where to find

[itsblue]

So far I can only find these in chrome. Anyone know where these might be available in polished aluminum to match tourer risers? Found this picture here in tech board from 2017 but no link or info.

They may not be the best idea.  We have a member who rode with them for a long time and then one broke in half while he was riding.  It was a scary experience.

Agreed...you're better off finding a set of replacement risers the give the same effect of 1" rise. Many HD risers are available(have some on my bike) but you often will have to drill out the mounting holes just a hair due to a slight difference in stud diameter. It's a simple process and doesn't harm anything.

I've seen those bolts snap on the riser blocks you've pictured. Per Murphy's Law, it will happen at the most inopportune moment.

To avoid having to drill out the riser holes in the tree (only a few thousandths), you can use these conversion bolts with any HD (or other SAE not metric) risers.

This Baron's site also has riser extensions for Yamaha (1.5") but I don't know if they work on Valks.

Try GenMar Handlebar Risers. Polished aluminum, seem like good quality, 1 inch rise. I removed, went back to stock. If you want them call me  Six- O- 8  377- 355 one.

That is scary. I had these on my '98 back in 1998-1999 without issue but maybe they weren't on there long enough.

What hd risers are you using? I've  heard the duce risers give you 2" up and 2" back. Anyone know for sure, or a better one to try. Thanks

Harley Deuce risers (mostly knockoffs) are 5.5" tall (vice the stock ones at 3 1/8") work great, but you have to 1) grind the domes off the bottoms to flat, 2) drill out the riser holes on the tree (or use the conversion bolts above), and 3) reroute the throttle cables inside the tree.

Note that the Interstate throttle cable mounts at the bars come straight out the center, and not from the bottom like tourers and standards.  This gives interstates just a bit more throttle cable slack. 

Standard.

The Aeromach 4" risers for Honda are the best, strongest, no-alterations-necessary risers for Valk.
