We got the final figures in today and have the MSRP for the risers finalized! :yes::2excited:

The 3 inch riser kit will have an MSRP of $199.00
The 4 inch riser kit will have an MSRP of $209.00

We hope to have units here in the next 3 weeks and will keep everyone up to date on this schedule.

Pre-orders are now being accepted and will be on a first come first serve basis to be fair to everyone.

Sorry, but posted responses of.... "I want one etc" can't be counted in being fair to everyone.

MM

So, if you'd like to reserve a set out of this first run please just give us a call.

After the first run is done, the next units will arrive in about 4 to 5 more weeks.

Will these work if you already have he brp 1 in risers already installed??

Yes they will! :thumbup:

I have the BRP kit on my Spyder in the photos.

That is what the 3 inch kit is for people who have the BRP kit already.

The 4 inch kit is for people who do not have the BRP riser kit installed.

That way the bars will be in the same place and work with the stock cables ether way.

Scott, Yes I have seen those, thank you. They are very cool but still a bit farther apart than I am looking for. I have short legs. I have picked out my boards and the angle and area I want to put them. I have to get with my husband when the boards get here and figure out the best way to mount them. Combined with the riser kit and a passenger bag I found, this may become one of the most comfortable spyders out there IMHO http://smileys.on-my-web.com/repository/Happy/happy-066.gif This bag I am referring too is called the Biker Friend and it comes with a backrest for the driver. Here is the site http://www.bikersfriend.com/

I have a similar bag without the backrest part though........it holds alot more than you would think! Mine is a Harley Davidson SAC bag....and it cost me more money than that one without a backrest:(

I have the same question. I was not thinking about the 1" riser when I ordered the 4" risers for the bars. Will this work? I can use all the rise I can get so I hope the answer is yes.

We have not tested the 4 inch riser on top of the 1 inch BRP set up. as I fear the cables willbe stressed to much.

If you ordered the 4 inch and need the 3 inch just give us a call, no problem to change.

Yes you do have to cut your stock bars. It can be cut with a hack saw or small pipe cutter. There's a cap that goes in the end of the bar you cut off. You can install the risers and try them without cutting your bars at all if you are concerned about not liking them. I'm sure somebody will buy them off of you.

This is a true 3" or 4" rise from stock, not a 5" rise bar that may only be 3" from stock depending where the messurement it taken. I don't see you getting much more than 4" of rise with the stock cables.

On another note. I just got back from a little ride to town and I love the look and feel of these new risers. I can't wait to ride to Sturgis and then San Diego in a couple of weeks. I pretty much have everything dialed in now. :doorag:

I'm pretty sure they won't cover your bars if they break after you add the risers ;) but everything else should be fine. The only thing you are changing is the hight of the bars, just like the BRP riser.

By the way I also notice less vibration with these new risers. :thumbup:

Those risers look neat but I have a concern. I've fabricated a lot of things of this nature and I know it is difficult to get something like this to clamp hard enough to prevent slippage. It looks to me like very much forward or reverse pressure on the elevated bar would cause the riser to slip and rotate forward or back. It would take a lot of clamping force on the lower bar to prevent that.

What say you Magic Man???

This half moon type of clamp is the exact type of clamp that holds stock handle bars on to the triple trees on almost every motorcycle made. Ours is just upside down.

Question is? Do your handle bars move now? I'm 315# and an ex-powerlifter and I can't move them no mater what. God knows I tried on the prototype of this unit to be sure. So, if you can move these when tight YOUR THE MAN! :thumbup:

However, I put a full explanation on how, and why this works in another post here is the link.

Fork tubes and all handlebars are clamped like this. I can say with the utmost confidence that there is no way you will get these to slip unless you go head on into a wall. :shocked: I was able to skip the Spyder in a turn today and that's the first time I've done that and the risers didn't budge. If I even thought for one minute that these would slip at all I would not ride as hard as I do now. The first set that I put a lot of hard miles on were only 3/4" wide and these are a full 1/4" wider than those and they didn't slip. You can ask Sam (Heavenbound) how hard I was riding with those risers. I'm the test dummy so you guys don't have to be. You're concerned about something that ain't going to happen.

P.S. I'm more worried about a grip comming loose in a turn than I am my riser moving.

MM can you clearify this: you mentioned earlier up this thread about the ability to "test" the riser block without cutting the original and then adding the grips.
Does your riser kit include the bars for the grips? or do we use the cut section off section of the bars as the "new" grips?

Have read all the postings on the risers and how much everyone likes them. I have the original windscreen on my Spyder which gives me quite a lot of wind on my chest. At road speed that provides just about the right amount of lift to my body so that the pressure on my arms and wrists is minimal. A "straight up" sitting position hurts my lower back on longer rides, and I am hesitant about having risers. Still, there are all these great reports and I wonder if I am missing out on something that I would really love ????????????

Decisions, decisions, ..........

Jack H.

Magic Man
08-25-2008, 04:19 PM
Jack,

Most people like myself say the too bent over position tends to hurt our backs after awhile, not the other way around. :dontknow:

So if you can't sit more upright without your back hurting than I would have to say you are the exception not the rule in this area? If your back needs to be more bent over to be comfortable than this may not be the mod for you, as it will sit you more upright for sure. :(

However, everyone so far seems to not only love the seating position, but the extra control this design seems to afford them as well. :clap:

The only thing to do would be to install a set and go for a ride before you cut off the old excess bar stock and see if they work for you? That way if not all you would have to do is transfer the controls back to the stock bar.

I got my 3" risers today (very fast shipping) which will be an addition to the 1" I had installed. I will hopefully get to install them tomorrow.

I came from a Vulcan so the cruising position, for me, is much more comfortable. My neck / shoulders last about 45 min in the current position before the burning sensation starts.

I am sooo looking forward to this mod.

Jack H.

Sounds like you need a backrest also, with some lumbar support. I do not have the risers as my long wingspan allows me to sit fully upright with BRP's 1" riser. I did get a Biker'sFriend bag for my rear seat that gives me additional storage and a back rest / lumbar pad. It does provide additional back support and comfort for the long rides.

My "wingspan" isn't quite as long as yours, Brian, but that's why I put on the NMN 3 inch riser (without the BRP 1 inch) and rotated them forward a bit.

That's one thing I'll add, Jack, is that the BRP riser is a block which extends the bar setup one inch back at a fixed angle, where the NMN risers have a bit of adjustment since you can rotate them--in fact, I say quite a few degrees of rotation of adjustment are possible. Of course, cable play and orientation of the clutch mc relief limit how much you can dial it in, but you still might want to try them...

MM...after much looking.....

The clutch and brake handles hit my windshield at full turn. A wider windshield at the handlebar level could be made if:

1. The turning radius was reduced (not good)
2. The bars were farther back, pull backs - (good)

I tried this with a spare piece of 7/8" bar, and it looked good, felt good...but it won't fit on your riser (obviously).

How much would you charge me to cut-bend-patch weld a set of bars 15' (degrees) inward towards the rider? I don't use the hole you drill for the controls (I drill and tap a screw to prevent the controls from sliding), so I'll adjust the angle up or down to fit me. (Custom pull backs)


The approximate angle of the risers as mounted on the stock bars.

The bars cut-bend-patch weld 15' (degrees) at the point of connection to the risers.

How they would look installed

Different angle

I think with the 15 (degrees) of bend, I could get a full width (mirror to mirror) windshield put on. Also, I think the bar ends would be closer making slow full turns easier.

Let me know.

Thanks

Why not just bore the top riser holes at a 15* angle?



MM...after much looking.....

The clutch and brake handles hit my windshield at full turn. A wider windshield at the handlebar level could be made if:

1. The turning radius was reduced (not good)
2. The bars were farther back, pull backs - (good)

I tried this with a spare piece of 7/8" bar, and it looked good, felt good...but it won't fit on your riser (obviously).

How much would you charge me to cut-bend-patch weld a set of bars 15' (degrees) inward towards the rider? I don't use the hole you drill for the controls (I drill and tap a screw to prevent the controls from sliding), so I'll adjust the angle up or down to fit me. (Custom pull backs)...

YES!!!! Bore the hole at 15 degrees....however, it'll take modifying the riser, not the bars. I think a little more expensive. But good and strong.

This can't be done for a whole list on reasons that would take me forever to write down. As I type so bad it really would be forever to do it all. LOL

However anybody who want's to know the reasons why it can't be done from the engineering, style and business stand points, just give me a call and I can tell you faster than try to relay it all here.

We already went there in a design sesion. but hit all these brick walls dead on ourself. :banghead:

I'm sure with your drawings in hand you could take it down to your local fab. shop and they could fix you right up. :thumbup:

To be honest I never had an issue with my hand hitting the windshield and even if I did it wouldn't be that big of a deal to take a wider turn. I'll take no shoulder pain or back pain to maybe hitting my hand on my aftermarket windshield.

How about a joint in the middle of the riser that gives a swivel adjustment? I've seen these on some other after market bars, and the range adjustment is great.

If you look at the Corbin fairing/shield, it's designed to go around the handlebars at full turn. I bent my old stock bars in and placed them in the risers and two things happened I liked.

1) The pull-back affect makes full turn much easier as the outside grip doesn't travel so far away from the rider.
2) The stopping point would allow a wider shield similar to a goldwing or harley for those that don't like the tall skinny shield look.

For those that like the air affect of the smaller shield wouldn't need/want this mod.

Just checking the possibilities.

Seems you have everything worked out? :thumbup:

Let me know how they work out when you put them into production? :dontknow:

I am most curious about the torsion forces your new design creates and how it will be solved? :shocked:

Here's a picture of a stock windshield and a 3" riser at full lock. The riser is pulled back very little, it is pretty much straight up and down. As you can see there is a good 2" or better clearance between the riser and the stock shield.

This is a non issue with any of the shields that BRP makes. I think if you have a shield that hits when you're in a full lock and that's a problem for you, you should contact the guys that make the shields and ask them to make the change and not No Magic. I'm sure it would be much easier to make a bend or notch in a windshield then it would be to compromise or modify a structural component like a riser.

Lamont, you are correct, it's a non issue for any of the stock shields, and most if not all of the "Spyder aftermarket" shields. The reason the shields are designed as they are is because of the full lock position of the handlebars.

WHAT KIND OF GLUE DO YOU RECOMMEND TO REINSTALL GRIPS AFTER INSTALLING 4 INCH RISERS ON MY SE5????

We use clear spray paint and let sit overnight. I learned this trick while working on bikes years ago.
