Handle bar riser for 2012 RT

[SpydeeRidee]

Hi there, I'm a new spyder Ryder and not very tall. I'm 5'3" and if I sit in my seat where I'm supposed to, then I'm leaning forward so my arms aren't completely straight. Any suggestions that aren't going to cost me $1,000? Are there risers I could put on or is modifying the seat a better option? Thanks in advance!

:congrats:...&...:welcome:....A few members here have put 4 1/2 inch DOG BONE style risers on the RT and ST style handle bars .....however they did it themselves ....not by the dealer ..... so if you aren't a DIY person, it's going to be costly..... A company - RSI , makes risers that will work easily if you have an SE trans ..... but they can be modified if you have an SM also ..... Mike :thumbup:

I put a set of RSi 5" risers on my 2012 rts. I had to extend the wires and clutch line. wasn't a big deal to do, a little time consuming is all., the clutch line was replaced with a 50" braided line from Dennis Kirk and I used a 90 degree banjo fitting at the clutch reservoir. I thinks ISCI, a site sponsor has some pretty nice risers that'll work.
