....it is possible to use a thin pocket knife blade, or a small, thin flat screwdriver tip to pry up the edges of those plastic caps that are over the riser cap bolts. If you want to keep the same risers, just take the bent bolt to a hardware or fixture store and match up a replacement. If you want a little more height, but no more pullback, you will have to change the risers. Most any riser for one inch handlebars that have their own riser caps will work. Notice I said most. Many of the Harley risers have a single riser cap that goes over the top of both risers. This type of riser won't work because they are made for a 3 1/2" center mount, and Suzuki uses a 4" center mount, but any Harley risers that have individual riser caps for each riser will work just fine. You will have to do the modifications I mentioned in my first reply to you if you go with pretty much ANY aftermarket risers. The mods are not that difficult to do. Lemme know how it turns out.
