      Tough question as you see how many replies you got. I am not familiar with the Harbor Frieght, but from what I've seen of the other brands; I have serious doubts. Most risers are BS specific and would require major modification to inter-change. You would have to have one present and take a close look at you BS to really see if there were possibilities.

      Sorry I couldn't be specific, but that's just my guess. You might have a local machine shop have a look and see if they could produce one at a reasonable cost.

   Good luck with the quest...

   Hop on over to http://www.forums.woodnet.net.  Do an archives search.  A whole buncha guys over there have the HF bandsaw and love it, after some modifications.  I seem to recall some of them saying that the riser block from the Rigid at the borg will fit.

   Hope this helps

   Ned: the Ridgid riser block fits your HF band saw but does have to be modified to fit, a friend of mine has one and did the retrofit but noted it was a "Bear" to get it to work.. not just a drop it in and it works.. I wonder if HF has a riser kit for there saws maybe if you contact them they can help you out..
