What (who) makes the best handlbar risers for an RS SM5 Spyder?
I have searched this website but couldn't find any information on what is the best way or product to put handlebar risers on an RS spyder.
I have an RS but can't take the forward leaning position. I want to sit up straighter and feel more comfortable.
What product is the best one out there and do you need to buy longer cables (I prefer to use the stock cables if possible)?
My bike is a manual shift (sm5) if that makes a difference.
Any help or comments would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Hi 0992,
Re: what is the best way or product to put handlebar risers on an RS spyder.
IMO a subjective question. I put the Custom Dynamics 4 1/2" Easy Risers on my '08.
I found the instructions lacking but finally got it completed. If you are experienced in wrenching on cars, etc, you should be able to do it yourself.
Here is the link: http://www.customdynamics.com/can_am...bar_Riser_Kits
I bought the $129.95 items and found them to be of very good quality.
If you would like to see mine, drop me an email at: jerrybaumchen(at)gmail(dot)com

PS) My cables fit fine so far; the risers have been on for almost a year now with no issues.
PPS) NOTE: Read the instructions carefully; they go on a different way if you have a manual or electronic shift.

You don't say what year you spyder have and that can make a difference for newer spyders. As of 2013 they made several changes especially the handlebars and the most common risers will not fit, but prior to 2013 I believe the RS handlebars are the same.
