Looking to install a set of handlebar risers/offsets on my 72 Interstate.

Any suggestions??

You are looking at custom machine work. Different handlebars is the best option. That presents it's own problem...it might cost you 3 or 4 sets of handlebars to find something you like.

Depending how high or back you wanna go, lots of options on eBay.

There's some aftermarket risers about that should fit a commando
You'd need to check the centres
Some just move the bars up a little
Some move the back aswel
Unless you want to go oldskool then you could get yourself a set of dog bones and the sky's the limit

Like you said Seattle, only a few aftermarket riser options available to buy you an inch or two. It's like how do you want to be on the bike and how do you ride. Younger days, I was humping the tank like it was the old lady. Further on it's whatever makes you comfortable. Could always add a riser for an inch or two to whatever bar you choose. The limper the dick, the higher the bar. Been down that road.

The base of those risers work good for suttle clearance/comfort adjustments

No idea about riser/offsets, but there are LOTs of handlebars - look here starting on page 137: https://emgo.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/2019general_IN-2967-1.pdf

Once you find what you're looking for, search for the part number on Amazon or your favorite supplier. I buy almost all my handlebars on Amazon. Some EMGO stuff is junk - their handlebars are not. If you find the right rise and pullback but they are too wide, that's easy to fix with a hacksaw.
