RE: Dyna Risers?

Hey twofish - Love your video - great tunes, too!

I know we talked about this before, but those ought to work real slick. Mine are also 3" with separate top clamps but just a little different style, sort of hour glass. I love mine and think the 3" gives just the right height with the stock mini apes w/o looking awkward.

Nice thing about these, and the ones you're looking at, they allow for the use of a tach like this one from Baron (which is my plan):

I currently have the HD 4â€ risers on.
They feel great, however I think the 3â€ as you said works
better with the mini apes.
The also look beefier and I think they work better for me in tight turns.
I do like the tach idea, keep me posted how it works out.
Thanks

RE: Dyna Risers?

I really like those. I may have to get some. They are only and inch taller than stock right? Will they work with all of the stock cables?

Yes only +1" and all cables work fine, just tweaked brake line a little and turned brake line clamp on triple tree 180 degrees. That's the main reason I wanted to try these first w/o getting all complicated and throwing new bars, cables, time and effort at the bike.

The problems I was attempting to solve were:

1) After lowering the bike, I found my new Mustang seat bumped me back up a bit, so needed to compensate. Figured new risers were a whole lot easier and cheaper than bars, cables, etc. Just wasn't sure how it would look as taller risers and mini apes generally look, well, awkward IMO. Turned out only going up 1" on the risers actually looked good, so I'm sticking with it!

2) I wanted a tach but disliked the harley bar mount, and the tach/speedo combo gauge was just too pricey, so when I found a Baron tach cheap in the classified section, that made the decision on the risers with separate top clamps a natural.

Then of course I saw Nick Cage's Ghostrider movie and his chopper looked to have these same risers (but maybe taller?), and well, that was that!
