Installed Riser Extensions on 08 SB

I got a set of the 2" riser extensions from one of the forum members here - Loner. They are really nice; easy install no mods required. they look really nice - only thing is because of the angle that the integrated part of the riser on the triple tree the pullback is more than I expected.....now I gotta crank the bars prett far forward to get the reach I like....looks a little weird; gonna take some getting used to...........the height is perfect though - might end up just going to 2" longer bars but for now this is awesome.

Here's some pics:

just bumping this to make sure Loner gets full credit for his excellent workmanship....anyone looking for a solution to the lame integrated risers on the 08 & 09 SBs should look him up

Dude they look really sweet. I have to get some of these as well and now that you say it makes more of a pullback I really want to try them out. If I dont like them I can go back to stock. Plus if I ever get new bars than I know how high I would like to go as well.

I still have the risers link saved so when I am ready I can pull the trigger and hope he still has some left.

thanks for the update on this product.

ya - it was no problem with the 2 inch risers so going back to the stock clamps and a 2" longer bar will be the same thing. I didn't even have to realign any wires or cables.....if I spent a little time fiddling around I could prolly get some more slack and go even taller without any changes.

They're a 10 minute install so you can always go back to stock if the height isn't right.

Oh and btw - it helps to have a second set of hands cuz the risers wont stay put in the trees on their own. I had my daughter stand in front of the bike and hold the handlebars once I removed the clamps. Then I put the extensions in, placed the bars and had her hold it all steady while I put the clamps on. worked fine but would have been a hassle without the extra hands.
