I have Helibar on my 04 fjr, does anyone know if there is a plate or spacer that can be added for more lift?

There are lots of riser blocks available (even Amazon) but I don't know if they can be used on top of Helibar risers.

I wish I could just find a plate to go under the helibar
You might want to think about a conventional handlebar conversion if you want the bars that high. Then the choices are endless.

How easy was it to extend all cables?
Something like that would require all new cables I'm sure.
Bike was set up like that when I got it, so I can't say for sure. While a little time consuming, I'm sure it's not too hard. I've done it on other bikes fairly easily.
The seat is a Saddleman.Interesting seat. I like the cutout to relieve pressure on the tailbone.

It depends what kind of Helibar you are talking about. I know of 4 different ones, so if you can be a little more specific or maybe add a pic, that would be a big help.
On my '07 I have a Helibar pullback replacement top plate with 1" Genmar risers on top of that. This setup required re-routing of cables & hoses but no replacement or lengthening. https://www.fjrowners.com/threads/made-my-own-handlebar-setbacks.117113/#post-1001097

I installed the Helibar Riser Plate kit that bolts on the the top triple tree clamp for up 1' and back almost 4". I wanted more height so I stacked my Genmar 1" riser blocks on top of the Helibar Plate kit on my 2008 AE. I purchased longer stainless steel bolts
too mount the handle bars on the plate. My stock throttle cables had a kink in them, when I turned the bars lock to lock on the center stand the idle increased slightly, not good with a AE so I needed a new pair. I purchased a use pair cables and took them to a shop and they used the ends etc and made me a pair a few inches longer added insurance. Non AE models I'm not sure if your clutch hydraulic line is long enough, but Helibar will sell you a second hydraulic extension line.
This mod was HUGE for me being tall and 73, my back is not bent now (arthritis) and my arms and wrists are not sore after a 300 mile day. My bars are UP 2" and depending on which of the three bars setting almost 4" towards me.
PM me on messenger I'll send you pics from my cell, I'm on my PC and I haven't added them from from my cell.

Look through the following thread. Adapter that can be used for many different bars.
https://www.fjrforum.com/threads/tubular-handlebar-adaptor-for-fjr.173211/
You'd need to do a tubular conversion. And I think Harley bars are 1 inch and not 7/8's. The real question is why? 
Look at LSL Products

Actually, a friend of mine already has a Harley Handlebar so just wondering if it can be used on the FJR and what sitting posture it will offer.
