I have the same in BLACK !  Just arrived from J&P Cycles ... same brand.  $142.00

I tho't these would work to rotate the bars back and up a bit.  I don't need much.  Maybe 1" up and 1" back.

That said, I wonder if these will work.  The cables would be one issue ... perhaps.  Perhaps not.  But, the LED dash seems like it's connected to the bars and would prohibit us from using these risers.

I'm taking my bike to the dealer soon to have some other stuff installed.  I'll ask the shop manager if he thinks these will work. 

Personally, I think some risers coming from under the lower stalks to triple tree top would work better.  But, would be difficult to make.  I've had cad/cam risers done before.  Pretty pricey.

Just another EZ thing that can be tried .... loosen the handlebar bolts and rotate the bars up ... or down.  The change in position might help.

Also, I've changed out the entire bar on several bikes.  They make many, many shapes.  You can go on Motorcyclesuperstore.com and look at many 1" bars.  Those with a higher rise and offset may rotate the position back toward us. 

Just some suggestions.

Hey, make sure and let us know!  I'm pretty short and the riding position is just painful after a couple hundred miles.  The cables can be replaced if necessary w/ risers, but I had the same concerns about the instrument panel.  I was going to change out the bar, but I don't think the windshield mounts will work on a different bar.

Yeah, you are prolly right about the windscreen brackets not fitting a different bar.  Bars are pretty cheap as I remember, tho.  But, that might put a damper on using oem windscreen.

I've got a Utopia backrest I'm going to try to get on this weekend between other things I have to do.  I'll look more closely at the bar-to-instrument panel connection and see if the risers will work.

Hard to see without taking it apart.  But, there is some sort of bracket attached to the yolk of the stock riser set up, and I don't know what it's attached to.  ??

Any updates? Do these things work?

Any feedback on these risers?

There's next to no extra length in the control
cables/lines... If there's enough room for this
style riser extender (there's several sizes), then
it might work, since these extend the OEM
risers - not replace them. The LED pod attaches
to the OEM risers...

Thanks Mike

I also considered these, but then I decided that they would not bring the bars close enough for me.  That is when I decided to make my own bars.  If you have to lengthen the cables then you might as well do it right the first time.
