We're looking at a 2012 RSS for my wife whose arms are quite short . She really wants to pull the handlebars back several inches but I see nothing in the aftermarket for this. She recently ran into a couple in Greeley who had setback that replaced the ends of the stock handlebars. She didn't ask where they got them.

I made some for mine. Used 3 1/2 dog bone risers for 7/8 handlebars. The RT handle bars can be mounted, but a adapter plate will have to be made. The 2013 models has no problem adding the RT handle bars.

Value Accessories, a sponsor here, has a set of pullback risers that will reduce the reach by up to 3 1/2 inches.

They no longer sell the risers. They still have the instructions. Wanted a set for mine about a year ago and was told by them no longer available.

Bummer I really like mine and they were not that hard to install. jtpollock
When I bought my '09 RS I put Helibar risers on. They raised the bar 5" and brought it back 3". There was just cable enough. I then put a tall windshield on and invented my first Seal Floorboards. I almost felt like I was sitting on a cruiser. You can see a photo on my website. Loved sitting taller and straightener. That's when I became aware of what it means to.......
Ride in comfort.

I recently added them to my 2010 RSS and they work well!
These are the most compleat kit at lowest price, they are $70 less than Rivco, I like em.
I also like your idea of not cutting the old bar off and using it to mount more junk.
2010 GS SE5 red and black
1982 Honda GL650 (showroom condition)
2014 Honda Goldwing Valkyrie

On the handle bar piece that you add to the " DOG BONE " style just make it One or Both.. slightly longer ...then you can use all sorts off clamp on type devices .................... Mike

Yes,there is an"art" to mounting junk....or a sickness The original bar piece is in a perfect location for accessories!
Maybe they have some stocked up. Not being made anymore. Don't know why, seems like a good riser.

Could be. I've tried to buy things like this before, only to find out at checkout they didn't really have them. I think the market has dwindled for many GS, RS aftermarket parts, and because they aren't very "universal", they've just quit making them. The only complaint I read about these is that the bolts rust...I replaced them with stainless steel bolts I also removed my BRP 1" riser prior to installation, and just barely had enough slack in cables/wires. But I do like the risers!
