    Default RS handlebar Risers

    OK I know the Kwel Metal probably make the best but they are pretty expensive so I am looking at the Custom Dynamic risers in black. I was wondering more about the quality for those that purchased a set. Have they lasted, any rust, any unsual ware. Also I have seen some RS's with the a black center console (dont know what it is really called) Is this something you buy or was it painted? I think all the risers look better if the whole unit is black. It does not appear so much as a modification when everything is black.

    Anyone out there ready to sale thier Corbin or Ultimate seat?

    I have the Kewl Metal risers because I needed some lift but I needed some "twist" too and the EZ's couldn't do that........they were worth the long wait, though.

    Hi Tazzel,

    I bought these: http://www.esicycleproducts.com/spydereasyriser.html

    I talked to them because their shorter ones cost about $100 more & I was curious as to why. They said that the 4 1/2" ones @ $130, were cast and the more expensive ones were built on a CNC machine.

    I'm a ret'd. Mech Engr & spent nearly my entire career working with all types of metal forming; so I was somewhat wary about the cast ones.

    I rolled the dice & bought the cast ( cheaper ) ones. IMO they are a very well built product. The workmanship is first rate.

    I have not yet installed them ( lots of questions for some folks ) but plan on tackling the job just after the weekend.

    Give them a call ( their email replies could use a little work ),

    PS) I bought the black ones.

    I know this late, but I cut the handle bar dash in the shape of a V. It can than use any 7/8 bar. I used Moose Racing high rise ATV bars. Only $45. They give more pull back and more rise with the stock cables. I've done four other bikes like this and everyone is happy with the results.
