I found some 4 1/2" risers at a local custom shop, I think the final look is pretty cool. They definitely allow a more comfortable riding position. I had to re-route the throttle and clutch cables, and the wiring will be going in the bars soon.

Risers look great! Does that shop have a web site?

They look very cool, and I like the flat bar going across as well.

No, they don't have a web site, just a local custom bike shop, but I believe the risers were Cycle Works, as well as the top clamp. I think it (top clamp) would be a perfect spot for a British Flag emblem...

The risers really do look good. How is the riding position? I'm considering risers or changing the bars altogether. Not sure which at the moment. I'm leaning towards the risers. I'd like to be able to sit back just a little more than what I can at the moment.

I bet you can get them at J&P cycles they have everything.

I have used many parts from them and they also have excellent customer service!
I have speedmaster risers and america bars and like the riding position. I have heard from others that the Hardley risers have a slightly larger bolt and our trees need to be drill slightly larger. Not having used risers from another maker I couldn't tell you for sure.

You're right about the holes, I had to drill out to 1/2 inch, no problem at all, just take your time and drill straight. I used 2.5 inch bolts, allen (socket) head, with a split lock washer. The riding position is MUCH improved in my opinion, more straight up and relaxed.
