You could do that, but then your center of gravity will be off and you'll notice it in turns because of the lean.

Try getting risers?

Well.. i found some on e-bay... but they're GROSSLY overpriced (what's new)... but this is the general idea you should be looking for. Try looking on Motosport.com or Denniskirk.com or a few other bike spots that may have them for cheaper.

Yeah those are practically a STEAL... especially if your junkyard has a ton of bikes in it... snag a few! :)
