The main thing is that you get a pivot style, so they go straight up, instead of angling back some.

I would like to put a pivot riser on my sled ,but I don't want to have to cut the steering column. Plus it would make the steering column weak and would probably make it easier to break. If I were going to put a pivot riser on my sled how tall of a riser do I get with out buying extensions and having to modify anything.

you can buy pivot adapters. The best way to find out how high you can go, is to unbolt your handlebars, pull them straight up and have someone measure the clearance. Then subtract 1/2" from that to be safe, and you have a good idea of what you can go.

Where do u measure from since the handlebar mount is at a 20 degree angle.

I guess I haven't seen one like that before.
