I've been working with Gene at GenMar on the risers. The big problem is
that there is just not enough slack in the stock cable to allow a large
enough riser to be added. So we made some measurements and Gene has decided
to offer the kit with a new front brake line. He was ordering a stock cable
to get the exact measurement and then was going to get new cables made and
finish off the kits. I would assume that they should be available in the
next few weeks.

Thanks

If anyone else has their valves checked, please ask the dealer to supply
you with a complete list of clearances on all valves. I would like to start
compiling a database with the results.
