View Full Version : New handle bar risers almost ready!

Today we installed one of our pre-production 3" handle bar riser kits.

We still have a few small tweeks to make, but we should have units ready in the next 3 to 4 weeks.

We will be making these in both a 3 inch and 4 inch version for people who do, or don't have the BRP 1 inch kit installed.

I have to tell you I just rode it for the first time with the risers and what a world of difference it makes! :yes:

I have bad knees and hips for too much time spent power lifting when younger, and this extra rise really makes the whole bike feel much more comfortable big time!


I also have carpal tunnel in my left hand which used to go right to sleep in just a few minutes before because of the excessive palm pressure the bike had. I just rode over an hour and nothing at all! My hand feels great and no more going to sleep. :thumbup:

I also noticed without so much palm pressure I can ride the bike better. I am able to move the bars faster without them having to hold so much of my body weight and in as much am more able to turn the bars easier and quicker.

I have sent Lamonster some quick shots of these, and even a shot with one of my employees sitting on it to show the riding position as well. I hope he can find time to post these for me so you all can see what it is I am talking about. :pray:

I have to tell you these are one of the biggest comfort improvements I have made yet to my Spyder. :2thumbs:

Evan, you know I want these!!! Are they hard to install? About how long of an install is it? Also, any idea of approx cost of this mod? If it is in the budget, I would like this before Gatlinburg, it looks like that trip is a go for us.
Deb

P.S. I love those HID's and I am anxiously awaiting your other mods.

Deb,

I'm so glad to hear you like your HIDs! Just follow the light! ;)

The MSRP will be set by week's end, as we are still contacting a few suppliers for the final cost on a few items.

The install takes about 30 to 45 minutes and should be no problem for you at all.

Thanks for the kind words! I will let everyone know as soon as we are rready to take pre-orders. it will ether be later this week or next.

The first run seems like it might already be going fast from the phone calls this week alone.

These units will be reserved on a first come first served basis to be fair to everyone.

As soon as we are ready to take the pre-order I'll post another note.
Should be in the next few days.

What about the clutch lines and throttle cables? Do we need to change them out? If so will you be offering them?

Can we see a close up pic of the outside part of the riser? The part you would see if you were standing on the side of the bike.

We compared what I'm using now to what Evan has and he is 1" further back and 1" higher than what I have on my bike now. The other cool thing is he was able to install his without pulling a panel. I didn't try that with mine but maybe I should of.:dontknow: I just assumed that I was going to have to reroute stuff but he was able to make it work as is.:bowdown:

Sure just give me a call. It is really easy to do but a post that long would put people to sleep. LOL
