welcome

These are my opinions on your questions...

The NMN risers are a friction clamp on the stock bar. They can go in just about any position you would want. Straight up, straight down, straight back or anywhere in between. My wife installed her NMN risers and the quality looks really good. They are machined out of a chunk of billet aluminum and were made plenty beefy looking for strength and good looks.

The companies that are listed on the Home page of SpyderLovers are all there because they offer good products and have proven to offer good customer support.

I would say that there is little to no difference between BRPs three windshields besides looks. Well, the sport shield provides the least wind protection as it barely sticks up over the dash. The stock and touring windshields provide little to moderate wind protection. Just fine for cruising up to 50 mph but the wind and the wind noise gets tiring after a few hours of steady 70 mph riding.

BRP already has 4 colors available if you count the blackout panel kit that they are selling. I would think that more colors will be offered as time goes on.

Backrests are a matter of personal preference for the rider and a possible safety concern for the passenger. The passenger backrest gives peace of mind for those riding two up. Riders backrests are only good if you can get your riding position (through highway pegs, bar risers) where they allow you to relax against the backrest. For me, the BikersFriend seat bag provides a good backrest for use with the stock seat. However, the stock seat isn't comfortable for really long distances or multiple days of steady riding. For that reason, I'm looking at Russel "Day Long" saddles for a seat upgrade.
