Hey everybody, I have an 05 sportster with stock bars....it'd be more comfortable for me if I could move h bears up a few inches and back a few.....do I have any options besides changing the bars ...cold I use some type of riser or anything....I'm not sure whammy options are.....
I also don't know exactly what is required with new bars....I see a lot of people removing the funky looking curved riser to put new bars on or relocating the speedo....is that necessary or is it just for looks when changing bars.....thanks for any advice....ryan
Yes it's easy to do and cheap. Depends on what kind of setup you have now. I know the customs with the chrome risers integrated with the speedo have issues. Lots of aftermarket risers out there. Just google pullback risers.
Pullback risers, got it....I'd like to get rid of be riser I have now cause I hate the look of it but I know it'll be expensive changing everything, I bought this migh t be a cheaper fix....thanks...ryan
