Handlebars, 25 in it doesn't seem as though it has enough clearance so I'm looking for some risers, I only need about 1-2 in more room

I did a quick reupholster with the seat, marine grade vinyl alligator faux, looks like a woman's purse but it's just temporary. You may see how far the oil is reaching back on this pic it goes from the engine to the belt cover

As you can see here I have bad oil leak it started small now it seems like it's leaking more, it's also getting hard to start, I have to apply full throttle without a choke and it takes a while, then white smoke comes out and it has a slight smell I can't tell what that smell is though

You can use anything to space the bars off the tank.
3/8" drive 3/4" sockets with longer bolts will do.
Use 3/8" bolts instead of the metric or you'll need to open up the sockets a tad.  
And get higher strength bolts then the common variety.

Use grade 5 bolts, grade 8 is overkill.

Thanks y'all, those graded bolts, can you get them from Home Depot? I went last night to get some for my perch and they only had machine bolts and those are too weak, strong enough to retread but weak enough to break in half during tightwning

After seeing that picture what do you make out of that oil leak? Head seal cap still or something more serious?

Both Lowes and Home Depot carry them, you just have to search a bit. Push come to shove, NAPA has them behind the counter.
