Default A1 Cycles Risers installed

I ordered these a few weeks back and was told they were waiting on bolts to arrive and Mike at A1 called yesterday and told me they were in. Lucky for me A1 is a quick 10 min drive from my shop so headed over around 2 to pick them. Met Mike and saw his Pan with the risers installed, a super nice guy and I expect to see a lot more innovative PA parts come from in the future. Went straight back to the shop and started the install. Opened the package the risers look great, very clean machine work and powder coating on them. Disassembled the bike per the instructions provided and roughly 50 minutes later I was headed out the door for a test ride. If I remember correctly the risers are +2 up and 1 back. They greatly improve the ergonomics for me a lot and I am not leaning forward like with the stock risers which would create pressure on my wrist. They let me sit on the seat much better as well before I had to sit a little forward on the seat which I was doing to try to eliminate so much leaning forward. The install was really easy, had to remove the faring which just pulls off, 6 bolts off, and 6 bolts back on. No extensions for the cables and wires are required and she turns lock to lock with no issues at all. All of the required torque values are provided in the instructions along with the size of tools required. Definitely a 5-star product. www.a1cycles.net

Ordered a pair. Have used Rox Risers for the longest time, but like the idea of a straight swap out without the potential problem of double the set of bolts coming loose.

Hi!
Are there any problems with the originale HD Tankbag? Does it hit anywhere? I have bought the Tankbag with my bike and don´t want to buy another new one...

I think the bag from HD is really fine. I buy next time also one, but for fast munt and unmount to have my pockets empty. Therefor I look for a small SW-Motech. They have recently brought out a tank mount ring, so it detaches really fast.
