Default Breakout-riser spacers









I just installed a set of 1 1/2" chrome spacers on my risers. That little bit of a spacer makes a difference. I like the drag bars but wanted them a little bit closer. Since they are a little up and back you aren't streching as much (I'm 6'2" so I didn't strectch to much anyway). Only thing I had to unhook was the Master Cylinder line from the frame. There was enough slack in all of the other cables.

Can I ask were you got your longer Riser Bolts? Must have went to around 4-4.5" or so?

Removed one of the stock ones and added the riser length to get the required length . Bought the bolts at Napa auto parts. That's what I did.

The bolts came with the spacers. Bought them on ebay and had the guy get the spacers chromed. Used my washers that were on the bike.

I installed my 1.5" spacers today and the wires are EXTREMELY tight, even after un doing the zip ties. I wonder why yours are longer. I need to find a solution, do they make plus n play extension of any kind, someone should make a wire kit that does that for Harleys as a lot of people do risers and apes.

My brake line has a little wiggle room locked to the left but is not tight. Everything else is fine. My spacers are 1.5". If I went 2" I would had to change the front brake line.
