Ebay risers have worked very well for me with no changes in cables or lines.

Deuce risers do it for me too!
6" up and 2" back. Plus mine came with a custom 1/2" spacer to adapt the "protrusion" on the bottom of the risers. So now it's 6-1/2" rise.
Can't say anything about the need for longer cables as my bike had longer "after market" cables from the previous owner.

You can use stock cables with the Deuce risers but they have to be rerouted from in front of the trees to behind the trees. Longer cables would be better but I'm just cheap and they have been working that way for about ten years. I have to say though that risers have to fit the individual, what works for me may not be right for you.

I use LaMonts risers and 3" longer cables.. I didn't like rerouting the cables behind the forks.. The TBR triple clamp may change the dimensions a bit also..

Contac Daryl at XF6. I have his risers, and for me, they are the ticket.

+1 on what Jess said. I put them on the Bumble Bee and just love the way they look and the way they feel out on the road...Jim  |
