• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

I need handlebar risers

To the OP

What kind of riser do you need/want?

Cut or no-cut? No cut blocks give you 1"-2" rise without cutting your bars to pieces, and can re-use your stock control cables. Cut ones require you to permanently cut your handlebars and *may* require longer cables.

How much rise and / or how much reach back do you need?

If you can find them used, Heli-bar risers are no-cut and give you 2" up and 4" back.

Can Am riser blocks are still available if you only need a little rise.

I ended up using a block along with the dog bone risers.

We used the Helibar option. I can't recall if I also used a riser block. I'll have to check the spare parts bin.
 
Here you go. Little pricey but well made/

Or buy some 4" dog bone risers and make you own. That is the route I took.

If you need any info on building them yourself give me a hollow and I might can give something to help you do it.

I used these, no cable issues, there was enough slack.
Incredible riding difference on my 2012 RS-S, arms and neck are thanking me.
 
I used Helibar 5" risers on my 2009 RS. Don't know if they still make them but I loved the diff. they made. Had enough cable to go 5" up and 2" back. You can see how I sat if you go to my website.
Ride in comfort,
John
