ORIGINAL: red1beard

My Fiance has the 2.5 risers on order. Will post when the get here. I hope they work. You could try the HD Reach seat. That helped some.
I would greatly appreciate to know the outcome.As far as the HD Reach seat goes, I like how the Sundowner puts me on the bike. My legs feel they are in a good position. With my highway pegs and my Sundowner seat, its pretty comfortable. I just need a little more upright positioning and I'll be set. If you do post on those risers, please let me know what bike it is and if there were any other mods that might affect it. Thanks a million.

I'm 6.0' tall with long arms and I know what he's talking about on the Roadster. It has you leaning just a little further than is comfortable on a longer ride. A small, pull back riser would be great IMO. I also added forward controls to mine, so I guess that I messed it up.
