I've been spending a little too much time pondering what I want for fitment of my handlebars. I'm okay with the look of the stockers, but would like them a little higher and closer for comfort and looks. It seems to me that the best way to get this result is to space the stock riser by an inch or 1.5....... Does anybody know if there is a billet spacer being manufactured for the factory riser on the2004-2007 1200c. It looks like the cables hoses and wires would easily sacrafice enough extra length to make something like this work.
Whaddaya Think?
I've been thinking about buying a couple longer bolts for the bottom of my riser then put a couple jam nuts & washers on em . Should raise bars a little. Any one else done this ?
Well- that would be the cheap and easy way to try the mod out first, but I would prefer a one-piece spacer that looks like it belongs with the stock riser and conceals the wires!
i dont think it would look very good to put a spacer under the "custom" riser... it has kinda of a "FIT" to the top of the tripple tree... you would be better off getting a regular riser getting a pull back one or a taller one.. in chrome along with a chrome top clam... it can look good! the custom riser is kinda bunk... its hard and ugly (imo) to add a Tach.

They went on very easily, no cable or line extensions required, and they are high quality items I'd recommend to anyone. They raised my bars just enough to take the uncomfortable slight lean out of my riding position and I'm very glad I got them.
Did you notice he said he had a "custom" and the custom riser is a solid piece!!! Those riser extensions would look aweful!
YOUR opinion. How do YOU know he's not sporting a 1/4 fairing, or might possibly like the look? Don't slam me for directing the guy to riser extensions - I didn't force them on him, I only made him aware of them to give options. If he likes them, good - if not, that's fine too. I am astutely aware that you are the arbiter of what everyone likes, wants, and should have. What hole did you crawl out of this early in your morning?
