Riser MSRP is in! Pre-orders now being accepted

[bjeffrey]

I got my 3" risers today (very fast shipping) which will be an addition to the 1" I had installed. I will hopefully get to install them tomorrow.

I came from a Vulcan so the cruising position, for me, is much more comfortable. My neck / shoulders last about 45 min in the current position before the burning sensation starts.

I am sooo looking forward to this mod.

Hey Magic Man

I pre-ordered the 4" risers a few weeks back and haven't received them yet.

Should I call to confirm you have my order?

Thanks, Tony

A "straight up" sitting position hurts my lower back on longer rides, and I am hesitant about having risers.

Sounds like you need a backrest also, with some lumbar support. I do not have the risers as my long wingspan allows me to sit fully upright with BRP's 1" riser. I did get a Biker'sFriend bag for my rear seat that gives me additional storage and a back rest / lumbar pad. It does provide additional back support and comfort for the long rides.

My "wingspan" isn't quite as long as yours, Brian, but that's why I put on the NMN 3 inch riser (without the BRP 1 inch) and rotated them forward a bit.

That's one thing I'll add, Jack, is that the BRP riser is a block which extends the bar setup one inch back at a fixed angle, where the NMN risers have a bit of adjustment since you can rotate them--in fact, I say quite a few degrees of rotation of adjustment are possible. Of course, cable play and orientation of the clutch mc relief limit how much you can dial it in, but you still might want to try them...

:clap: got my risers and the install went smooth ,i love them can't wait to go on a nice long ride. Was going to go on a ride last Sat. , went to DH Cycles and pulled into a service bay and decided that i better move to keep that space open and tried to start the :spyder: and nothing ,had juice and all the instrument functions worked and no alrms but would not start, hoping they can figure it out today. But the risers are great :thumbup:

Sorry to hear about your Spyder not starting but glad to hear you like the risers!

MM...after much looking.....

The clutch and brake handles hit my windshield at full turn. A wider windshield at the handlebar level could be made if:

1. The turning radius was reduced (not good)
2. The bars were farther back, pull backs - (good)

I tried this with a spare piece of 7/8" bar, and it looked good, felt good...but it won't fit on your riser (obviously).

How much would you charge me to cut-bend-patch weld a set of bars 15' (degrees) inward towards the rider? I don't use the hole you drill for the controls (I drill and tap a screw to prevent the controls from sliding), so I'll adjust the angle up or down to fit me. (Custom pull backs)


The approximate angle of the risers as mounted on the stock bars.

The bars cut-bend-patch weld 15' (degrees) at the point of connection to the risers.

How they would look installed

Different angle

I think with the 15 (degrees) of bend, I could get a full width (mirror to mirror) windshield put on. Also, I think the bar ends would be closer making slow full turns easier.

Let me know.

Thanks

Why not just bore the top riser holes at a 15* angle?

YES!!!! Bore the hole at 15 degrees....however, it'll take modifying the riser, not the bars. I think a little more expensive. But good and strong.

This can't be done for a whole list on reasons that would take me forever to write down. As I type so bad it really would be forever to do it all. LOL

However anybody who want's to know the reasons why it can't be done from the engineering, style and business stand points, just give me a call and I can tell you faster than try to relay it all here.

We already went there in a design sesion. but hit all these brick walls dead on ourself. :banghead:

I'm sure with your drawings in hand you could take it down to your local fab. shop and they could fix you right up. :thumbup:

To be honest I never had an issue with my hand hitting the windshield and even if I did it wouldn't be that big of a deal to take a wider turn. I'll take no shoulder pain or back pain to maybe hitting my hand on my aftermarket windshield.

 

[retread]

How about a joint in the middle of the riser that gives a swivel adjustment? I've seen these on some other after market bars, and the range adjustment is great.

If you look at the Corbin fairing/shield, it's designed to go around the handlebars at full turn. I bent my old stock bars in and placed them in the risers and two things happened I liked.

1) The pull-back affect makes full turn much easier as the outside grip doesn't travel so far away from the rider.
2) The stopping point would allow a wider shield similar to a goldwing or harley for those that don't like the tall skinny shield look.

For those that like the air affect of the smaller shield wouldn't need/want this mod.

Just checking the possibilities.

Seems you have everything worked out? :thumbup:

Let me know how they work out when you put them into production? :dontknow:

I am most curious about the torsion forces your new design creates and how it will be solved? :shocked:

Here's a picture of a stock windshield and a 3" riser at full lock. The riser is pulled back very little, it is pretty much straight up and down. As you can see there is a good 2" or better clearance between the riser and the stock shield.

This is a non issue with any of the shields that BRP makes. I think if you have a shield that hits when you're in a full lock and that's a problem for you, you should contact the guys that make the shields and ask them to make the change and not No Magic. I'm sure it would be much easier to make a bend or notch in a windshield then it would be to compromise or modify a structural component like a riser.

 

[Twodog185]

Lamont, you are correct, it's a non issue for any of the stock shields, and most if not all of the "Spyder aftermarket" shields. The reason the shields are designed as they are is because of the full lock position of the handlebars.

Where did you get the decal?
