Got the spacers in today. Plan is to try them out tomorrow and see if they work. If not I'll just throw them on the mill to get the size that will.

I just got the 2" ones today as well and tomorrow I'm gonna try and see if they can be installed on my '13 FB without breaking the brake line. Not worried about the clutch line, plenty of length there.

Same with mine. It's gonna be a close fit either way. Post up your results when you get it done!

Well I got them installed today. Everything went on easy as can be. Looks like everything is gonna be long enough. The clutch cable is tight at full lock to the right but still has some slack. I removed the first clamp holding it to the frame and it helped a lot. Plenty of wire and throttle cable was no issue. Brake lime is tighter but not too tight I don't think. It's too cold and rainy here today but just sitting on the bike seems like I'm gonna love the position.

I also got mine installed with no issues. I disconnected the brake line clamp from the top tree and rotated the banjo bolt slightly to get a little more and it's really not tight at all. Like you said, clutch is a tad tight on full lock right but I also removed the top frame clamp and it gives it enough slack. Rode it and love it. Only thing I noticed is that the added height puts more leverage on the bushings so the bars move around a little more in the tree, but I could fix that by switching to poly bushings.

So for the record, even late model FBs can go up 2" without replacing any lines or cables.

I'll probably rotate that banjo bolt tomorrow just for the added length. I thought about switching to poly bushings but figured I'd see how it was first. Nice looking scoot. Can't wait to ride and see the difference.

Got to take it out for a short ride today. I really like the new position. Allows me to be much more relaxed. Can't wait to try it out on a longer ride.

I'm in the market for these 2" risers and a 2" lift for my fuel tank.

Has anyone order the tank riser from DK?

I went with the 1" riser extensions because I thought the Clutch might be a big snug.

Assuming you removed the clip down near the motor - is the cable touch the motor now?
