Can you "stack" the 1" riser block on top of the brp 1" riser stem?
My quest continues.....
I ordered the custom dynamics risers and my ISCI brake resi hits the riser preventing me from being able to tip the riser back far enough to keep the brake handle level and get the lever back far enough so it doesn't hit the windshield. I actually need the mirror image of the left hand side to be able to gain clearance.
So I was wondering if I could put a 1" riser block on top of the existing 1" riser stem? it looks like possible the cable for the frunk release would be the bind? anyone done this?
This is the block I'm talking about: http://www.ebay.com/itm/330723611636...r#ht_596wt_698

I suspect you could, but be aware that these riser blocks generally will prohibit the steering lock from working.

YOUR RISER ISSUES
ARCTIC , can you post some pictures of what you are dealing with and I think you mis-spelled a word after ISCI brake ( resi ) that makes no sense as written....at least not to me.....and I'd like to help you.......Mike.....

If you're thinking you can 'double stack' the 1" BRP center riser.... the answer is no.
Not sure what risers you're talking about when you mention 'custom dynamics'. If they are like what was the previous ESI ones.. then you can use the 3" version along with the BRP 1" center riser without modifying cables. Any more than that and you'll probably not have enough cable length.
Someone was making a 3" center riser and selling them.. might do a google search. Might have been Spyder City.... just don't remember.
Spyder #1 - 2008 GS SM5 Premier Edition #1977. RIP after 80,000 miles.
Spyder #2 - 2012 RT SM5. Traded in after 24,000 miles.
Spyder #3 - 2015 F3 SM6. Put 13,000 miles on and sold it.
Spyder #4 - 2017 F3 SM6. Too good of a deal to pass up!

I have an unsed 2 inch riser if that will help. I don't understand your situation but a 2 inch riser sounds better than 2-1 inch risers.

FURTHER RISER THOUGHTS
Since you have an SE you don't have a clutch so the mirror image thing ain't happening unless you mock up a "DUMMY" one and that seems pretty senseless....and since you have "dog bone " style risers , I can't picture any scenerio where the brake handle is hitting the windshield....You do realise that the risers can be slanted/angled towards you...right.....and just for general info...there is enough slack in the cables /wires for 5 inch risers, and you can still turn lock to lock.....Mike....

The reservoir for the ISCI brake hits the riser as I roll it towards me and it prevents from setting the riser back far enough to clear the windshield as the brake handle is forced to rotate upwards as I pull them towards me making the lever pitched upward at a funny angle. I'm thinking about saying F-IT and getting the kewl metal 5" or 7" pull back bars. it's only another $40 more than what I've invested in the risers.

How do you lock the steering? mine doesn't do it as far as I know

They all do it (unless you have the block-type riser). I suspect you haven't read your manual. Turn the handlebars to full lock to either side, then turn the key counterclockwise without pressing it down. You may have to wiggle the bars a bit for the dog to drop in the hole.

Not sure this will work, but if you've got the ESI risers, there's a hole in the center you can feed the hydraulic line from the hand brake through that should give you more clearance. The clutch line on my SM5 is set up this way.

RISERS CONT'D
I could be wrong on this, it's happened before....but ARCTIC I think you are going to need more parts then just the handlebars.....like a whole new center section $250 ??.....If you could post some pictures I'll bet I could help you out with this.....I"ve engineered some interesting stuff ask Karyl ..aka "Murphy Brown", she's seen them up close and personal....Mike..........I just re-read your post #7, I think if you switched the left and right riser to the opposite side and possibly turned them around they might work....seeing a picture of what you have would really really be helpfull.....or maybe I could just come over....it's only ...what 2000 miles from me

I looked at the helibars riser but it's more money yet AND the way that they push the bars back changes the arc of the handlebar swing. Ever ridden a John Deere JDX snowmobile? It looks like it will make the bars swing in a left-to-right fashion rather than a true turn???? And that swing would also be counter productive in my quest to get the bars out of the windshield

My dealer is supposed to be sending me an owners manual and I'm too lazy to read it online. Thanks for the info though.
