Default Riser questions...

Laid my 2000 1200 C down the other day, no major damage broken shift linkage and apparently a bent riser, the riser appears to be stock, it has the neutral light, turn signals, and high beam light built into it, it also has covers over the risers and theres a ball of wires on there, if i buy new risers where would my "info screen" and all that wiring go?

Your top plate will go on your new risers,when you order your new risers you will want offset risers.

Yes,can you put a pic up,it would take a lot to bend the riser before something else bent,it might just be the bolts that are bent.
