Default Installed Barron Kickback Risers - What a difference!

I installed Barron Kickback 4" risers on my 2014 Heritage last weekend. It has been raining almost everyday since, but I did get to ride last Monday. What a difference in handling for me! I am 5'4" and found the stock reach too much. When riding with these I feel so much more in control of the bike in low speed maneuvers. The first time I took a turn, I thought, gee I did that quite nicely. lol. After doing five or six turns quite nicely, I realized it wasn't me, but the bike!

I did not have to replace any cables, but I did have to reroute the brake cable at the front a bit. At a full turn of the bars, the risers miss the speedo by just a hair. If I place pressure on the bars at that point they will touch. Still, I am very pleased with the results. I would recommend them to anyone who feels like they need to bring the bars back a bit.

Got any pics of the risers, and possibly of the whole bike with the new handle bar position?
