Help On Risers for my Valkyrie

[jimmytee]

I know I can search this topic, but would appreciate some current input on a selection for 4" risers with some additional pull back. I ordered a set of Aeromach Risers last week ,only to receive an e-mail on Monday that they were out of stock at least 'til May. I promptly asked to be refunded the money, which they did. I really liked the look of those, but want a comparable choice that I can order and have sooner. Any thoughts please?

HDL, carried the LaMonster Honda risers forever, which are exact copies of the Aeromach pullback for Honda.  

I can find nothing on their new and terrible web site (or would have linked them), but you might call them and ask.  They were always $25 or so cheaper than the Aeromachs anyway.

If you do, take the opportunity to tell them 75,000 valk riders hate their new site and want the old one back.  

Also, HDL sold in-house Cycle House 4 1/4" traditional style risers (like OE in design, only longer and chromed) for much cheaper than their LaMonsters.  (of course, I couldn't find those either).

Thanks guys. Some searching yielded these from Scootworks http://www.amazon.com/Scootworks-SWR-3-PhatRisers-Flamed-Valkyrie/dp/B00F9IRH5O

I called them and verified they were in stock. The plain ones are less expensive, but I got several other flamed theme items on my bike and they come out to be the same price I was going to pay for the Aeromach risers.

That instance is why I've steered clear of the less expensive options. The risers I ordered http://www.amazon.com/Scootworks-SWR-3-PhatRisers-Flamed-Valkyrie/dp/B00F9IRH5O are made of CNC machined from good billet stock and micro polished . Also made in the USA is a plus.

Jimmy, those look to have the same rise and pullback as the Aeromachs/Lamonsters.   

Just a beefier look.

Do not forget to pad the tank!!

Yeah their pretty close. No need for the towel, my tanks off. Just replaced my steering head bearings, rebuilt my forks with progressive springs, polished my trees and forks to a mirror finish. Going to replace my front wheel bearings tomorrow.
