I finally got to get the bike out with the new risers. I sat on the bike looked forward and noticed that the right side (throttle side) was lower than the left. It rode well and put the bars in a comfortable position,but I can’t get over the uneven look of it.
I measured the height from the top of the tree to the bottomof the bar directly beside the outside of the risers and found the right sideto be .100” lower.
Now that I have them on I would guess that the dealer will not allow them to be returned. I made an aluminum washer .100 thick to drop under the low side. I’ll put it in tomorrow and see how it works.

When I put RKII bars on my Heritage I went with Deluxe risers to give me 2 more inches of pullback. I followed the general advice of going with the poly bushings but found they gave me too much back and forth movement in the bars. Didn't feel safe to me so I put the stock bushings back in and they've been fine.
FTW, I got the polys from Drag Specialties. Part #59-4683. I contacted them and they said it was the right part for my bike. Wasn't worth the aggravation and cost of returning so they're sitting in my parts bin. If anyone wants them
they can have them for postage.

Hi Warren9073, I was on this thread checking out the 4" Curved Riser
Part number 56269-09 but something in your picture caught my attention. It looks like you have a chrome Ram ball mount on your bars and looks like there is power going to it. What is that? I currently used a ram mount on my Fat Boy Lo to hold my phone/gps but I hate the way it looks. Thanks, John
