Its not the bars.........its the risers.

Good Day All,

After a fairly thorough search (which seemed like hours) regarding beach bar risers, I was unable to find the information I am needing. What I am looking for is which risers to use with the Burleys. I would like to order both at the same time. The risers (whichever brand) will be the 1.5" variety...........heres the dilemna:

If running the wires internally, would one need to purchase a "solid" cover type riser as compared to the "piston/high roller" style of the Carlini? Basically to keep the wiring hidden.......or would it even matter???

Unfortunately, in my "neck of the woods", it seems to be apes, apes and more apes........if anyone with BB's has close up pics of their risers (and what brand/style) that would be greatly helpful. I would like to address the ordering situation next week.

Thanks in advance,

Slippie.

No need for a 1 piece clamp. It has nothing to do with internal wiring unless you are running the nacelle. Are you running the nacelle?

I didnt opt out for the wire covers and mine come out just fine.

As you can see those are the Carlini Piston Riser and their 1 1/2" Freeway bars.

Tampa I dig your bars can you post a side shot of your bike. They look similar to deluxe stock bars but appear wider and a little higher.

I like your bars a lot too. They look to be exactly what I want on my Deluxe--basically the same shape, but a little wider and a little higher.

Wicked looking bike Tampa!
