I really do like these spacers: beautiful, easy to install, allows you a different handlebar range. . . .
I've had them on since Saturday afternoon. About three hundred miles. I'm beginning to think my clutch line is too taut. I'm going to look tomorrow to see if there is any slack I can take up. . . . If not. . . may have to spring for a longer cable.

Would like to get the HD 6" pull back risers, but for the price difference. I may just go this route. thanks for the info

Well, my clutch cable is very tight when I move the front end all the way to the side. Worries me. May be taking the risers off. . . (?) . . .or getting another cable (?) or. .. .?
Anyway, in all other matters this is a great product.

Robert,
Your factory cables are long enough, just pull a little slack from the neck of the bike. *Sorry I should have spent more time reading. You can't pull more clutch cable from the neck, my bad.*
The factory length is perfect. At least it is on my 08.
Loving the risers! Tank lift this weekend!

Robert, no issues with cable length for me. Slightly tight at full turn both directions, but not to the point of causing stress for cables or worries for me. I did lean both clutch and front brake levers down about 5-10 degrees to help though FYI.

I guess I'll try angling the levers down. Thanks. It doesn't SEEM to be a problem, but I just don't want to stress the cables and have a breakdown. I've been taking long rides out into the boonies.

Just installed, very easy. However the handlebars seems "spongy" when I pull the handlebars. Never tried before I added the 1 inch spacer. Assume its normal with the rubber bushings in there. I know its tight plus blue loctite.
