I put the risers on today and here is what I found. Overall fit and =
finish of the risers is very good. They match up pretty well with the =
bars and don't look out of place. The sleeve that fits in the center =
sticks up above the bars about 1/4 inch, don't know if this is =
functional but that part looks out of place. The clutch cable is pretty =
stretched with the riser in place, when I turn the bars to full left =
lock it pulls the clutch in very slightly. Some adjustment may help but =
I think the real answer is about 1" longer clutch cable, maybe the cable =
from a Speed Triple? On the right bar; The top brake line is not really =
made the same (correctly) as stock. The stock top banjo has an angle of =
maybe 20 degrees, the replacement has no angle which means you have to =
route it strangely. The stock bottom banjo has an angle of about 45 =
degrees, the replacement is about 35, it will not fit in place in the =
same place as stock. The relationship of the top and bottom banjos on =
the hose is not the same as stock causing the line to 'corkscrew' when =
mounted. The replacement line seems to be slightly longer than =
necessary. Everything clears nicely, I did have some concern about the =
brake fluid reserve but it clears just fine. I just finished and only =
took the bike around the block but I think this will be a very big =
improvement for me. The only real complaint I had about the bike was the =
weight on my wrists in town and during heavy braking. I think that =
problem will go away. At this point I would recommend the risers to =
anyone with similar problems knowing that there are a few areas that =
need to be finessed to make me really happy.
