I bought a 05 1200c last June, I love everything about the bike except the riser, especially looking from the side. Any pictures of better looking riser/bar/spedo setups you guys have come up with would be greatly appreciated. JF

 

I don't think you have a lot of choices without spending some money and doing a bunch of mods. You can go with a different riser but you have to remember that the speedo is built into the riser. You can relocate your speedo but you have to find another housing for it.

 

I like the riser like it is but i want to run apes so i ant gonna use a pullback riser and you have to buy a quite a bit of extra stuff so i know what you mean.so for me I'm just buying a peace hear and there tell i git it done.

 

Or buy the autometer clamp and relocate the speedo to the side of the tank.

 

Day I bought it:



Three weeks later I changed the bars to this setup:

 

Hated the stock riser, used an autometer clamp and some direct mount 8' t bars.

 

I've been seriously thinking about putting some Biltwell Chumps on mine, and sorta hiding the stock riser with a tool bag. If I ever get it done I'll post some pics for review/critique/insults.

 

I really dig that, looks good.

 

I actually like the stock look better in this case.

 

I think it would look ok if the speedo were somewhere else.
