Looks like you got a better price too then MRSP listing. VERY anxious to hear the results ... looking for info on:
1. Do they clear the instrument panel (would just suck if they don't)
2. Did you have to do any modifications to the turn signals
3. Did you have to buy the handlebar clamps too (price if you did)
4. Did you have to put on new cables (all, or just brake )
5. Do they get the handle bars closer to you so you don't have to hunch forward, (your height would be nice to know too)
6. WTF do they look like on the bike ... pic is worth a thousand words

I got an email from Zanotti saying the risers are on backorder and that it will take 4 to 6 days to get them. They say they will notify me when they are are shipped.
So, looks like we will know something in a week/10 days. I was hoping to get them sooner than that.

Yeah, please let us know. I had mine out on Sunday. I'm reaching and leaning forward.
The only thing I'm beginning to wonder is 2" going to be enough.
I might start to look at different bars too.
That's handle bars, not saloons.

Not yet...still waiting on a confirmation email and a tracking number from Zanotti. Most likely I will put them in as soon as they arrive and I will post my results.
Just added a Mustang 17.5" wide solo seat w/backrest which brings me up and forward from the Sundowner I was using. This combination(seat and risers) will probably be what I am looking for but time will tell.
Update: Just got off of live help from Zanotti and they say the risers were shipped on the 19th, so I should be getting them today or tomorrow. Forgot to get a tracking number.

1. Yes....more so than stock I think
2. No mods to turn signals at all.
3. They came with clamps and chrome bolts.
4. There was plenty of room for the brake line, although my bike is lowered 2" in front. Should be enough room even stock height. Clutch cable is snug, hadda flip the standoff(by the adjuster) over to gain a little.
5. The bars come up about 1.5 to 2" and toward me about 1.5". I noticed a difference right away. For the better I might add. I'm about 5'8"/5'9". I'm stopped growing a long time ago.
6. They look good on the bike. I took some pictures of them and will try to post some later today. Job took me an hour or so fooling around to take a couple of pics and going slow.
