    Default RT Handlebar Risers?

    Does anyone make them? I'm having a lot of pain between the shoulder blades. I solved that problem on the Goldwing with risers. & was thinking the same might help here.

    You're thoughts?

    Not sure if it would help. At any rate, there are no risers available, as yet. You will have to wait to see what develops in the aftermarket. I have recurrent shoulder problems, and Nancy's Spyder can bother them a lot, even with her ESI risers. To be fair, so can my bikes. I haven't been able to ride my RT-S much, but I have noticed some discomfort between my shoulder blades. I'm sure it is mostly due to the width of the Spyder bars. They are wider than most motorcycles. At any rate, it means I will change my routine at PT to build up and stretch the shoulders more, and get the muscles balanced. Been down this road before, and that was the sure cure.

    Errr, February of what year? Not to criticize but my wife is experiencing shoulder pain and could use a set of risers for her RT. I understand HeliBar has a set in development also. Who will be first, Kewlmetal or HeliBar?

    Sorry, but no risers ever materialized, and there are none in development anymore, to the best of my knowledge. It was just too hard a nut to crack. Sometimes nothing is as easy as it seems.

    I guess MagicMan's mission has gone another direction since he's not released any updates...
