FYI, back in 07, I posted up a simple and quick way to get handle bar spacers. i went to my local cycle supply shop and got a set of wheel spacers. they are available in any length you want. they are alum. stock, and hand polish very easley to a bright shine. our local hardware store, ACE Hardware, carries stainless steel bolts in the proper lenghts and strength. nice quick, simple and safe way of raising your bars.:2thumbs:

bump.

Just started looking for a set of 1.5" spacers - any recommendations?

Would like them to "blend" in with the dog as much as possible - will get them chromed if need be. Why doesn't lowdown make these? hint.

Got the 1.5" risers installed today - big difference, love the additional pull back & feel. Honestly, they could be a little longer for me but it was worth it, happy with the install. I also had to notch (dremel) the aluminum risers to make room for the 3/8" Big Dog plate thing between the bars - no big deal, the cables all reach fine and you'll need 4" grade 5 or better bolts. Photos for reference.
