Risers for stock bars

[buellrider09]

Can someone please tell me which risers I need for my stock bars? Its a Lightning scg 2008. I dont mind the stock bars if I could move them forward enough to fit my long torso. But I can tell in order to do so I will need risers. Has anyone done this and which risers do I need to get?

You need some specific to the XB because of the diagonal angle of the bolts on the bar clamp. I know Diesel Moto sells some, but I'm not sure if they're only the 1-1/8 risers or if they make some in 7/8ths too.

You could also use some universal risers like these...

With one of those you could rotate the risers forward but still keep your bars at the same angle so your bars wouldn't be at an awkward angle and you'd still get extra space.

Thx so much, do you know if I need to get new cables or are the stock ones long enough for a 2 inch riser?

One more question please. Diesel motto sells the risers for buell's XBS in 7/8 but they dont specify if its 2 inc or not. Would anyone know what size they are?
