[ST] New to the List / GenMar Question

[George <gkeslin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello all,

I've been lurking out here in the mist for a little while and figured it's 
about time to jump in and get acquainted.  I live in the greater Chicago 
land  are and have a 2002 Blue ST that I purchased back in late 
August.  Boy, that seems so long ago!  The winter up here has been 
miserable to say the least.  I took the ST out for a short run down to 
Suches,Ga last September and thought what a comfortable ride!  I'd have say 
the most comfortable bike I own.  But it would have been a little bit 
better with some GenMar risers.

Well, the wife bought me a set for Christmas and I finally found time to 
mount them. Hmmm!  Things didn't go as smoothly as I had anticipated.  The 
left (clutch) side mounted pretty easily but the right (throttle) side was 
a different story.  The riser went on fine BUT the throttle cables were a 
little tight.  And if I turned the bars full left to lock the throttle 
cables at the housing contacted the underside of the windscreen 
support.  IN fact the moved the support about 1/2 inch at full lock.  Not 
my idea of they way they should fit.  I tried moving the throttle housing 
around with some limited success.  The cables may has loosened up some but 
they still hit the support.  Not as badly as before but there was still 
contact.

Have any of you mounted GenMars on your bikes?  If so, do these problems 
sound familiar?  What did you do?

I talked to the head mechanic and the Triumph dealer and he suggestion was 
to move the throttle cables.  Been there, tried that, no luck.  I've sent a 
couple e-mails off to GenMar but no responses yet.  Any suggestion you may 
have you be greatly appreciated!  Oh yeah, I also have heated grips but I 
don't think that really matters.

TIA!

George
