Any aftermarket riser options out there? I did a demo ride on the FB and I was a little stretched (not surprised). Risers for the old VTX were not a problen and not expensive and no cable issues. I just need a little bend in my arms to be a little more comfortable. Obviously, Iwould hope not to have to change cables, but I doubt that there is a lot of play in them. The bike I rode had mid controls so my thought would be that forwards (mids were to cramped for me, maybe I'm shaped weird) would make my sitting position such that my reach to the bars would possibly even befarther. Thoughts? Thanks.

Give a little more info (Height. Inseam. Reach.) and I'm sure you'll get feedback from other riders who solved similar issues for themselves.
I would, I mean I will, I mean; sorry a little distracted with the picture/avatar. But anyway, not sure about mesurements, I'll get the wife to fill me in on the specifics. What I know is I'm 5'9", pants are 30 to 32 length (is that inseam?) depending on type. not sure about reach. Thanks for the advice, I'll see what the wife can come-up with.
i couldn't find any risers for the 1 1/4 " full bar, there's no step-down in the bar where it meets the risers, an HD thing and the aftermarkets haven't really caught up. there are some out there but not as large as the factory
