Risers for Drag Bars?
Hey all,
I'm noticing some good back aches in my lower back after longer rides. I have an '03 Custom (drag bars) and was wondering if getting them pulled back a bit might help. I love the look of the bars, but wouldn't mind a hair more kicked back stance.
Anyone tried getting customrisers for this setup? Are there any folks would recommend?
Thanks!

RE: Risers for Drag Bars?
I am actually waiting to pick up my bikI had drag bars on it I know went with radious bars with a 8" rise on them with a pullback.It wasn't easy though because of the big speedo on sporties.So I replaced my stock speedo with a dakota digitial mini speedo which I mounted in between the riseres so I didn't take away from the look of my new radious bars will post a pic when I pick it up.

I inserted plastic riser bushings above and below the triple tree. Had to get longer bolts. But the setup did two things, brought the bars back and up just a little, but also dampened the the vibrations in the mirrors a little. The entire setup is about $20-$30

I've been hoping to find that someone is manufacturing a spacer plate that goes under the stock 1-piece riser on my '04 1200c. No luck so far though.... would also be cool if a set of dragbars was available with a shortriser hoop (like on top of dogbones)at the angle of the stock riser.
