Riser Question ( For those who have installed risers on their RS )

[Spyderjockey]

I installed KewlMetal adjustable risers. I took them nearly to their max and just love em. Handling, cornering , etc., much improved. Great investment for me.

I also went with the Kewlmetal adjustable bars and consider them to be one of the best mods I have done on the Spyder. With 3 axis of adjustment you aren't stuck with one configuration and they are easy and quick to make adjustments. I have mine swiveled back and brought the bars in closer to my body and have no more issues with wrist and hand numbness and I sit up much straighter. I think the handling is much improved also and as far as the windshield I already had an adjustable one on the Spyder.

Do the risers-- you won't be disappointed. I tried the 1" BRP one first-- not worth it--- then added the ESI 3" risers in black and LOVE THEM.

Makes it easier to steer, less pressure on wrists, etc...

And since they are adjustable - you can play with them until they fit you. Want a more sporty ride--- no problem-- just adjust them.

I did end up with a larger windshield (Chad) to help with the wind--- but it will drop your MPG a bit.

Pertaining to more head buffeting from sitting more upright --- yes I initially had this--- but much of that was due to my choice in helmet. Now have a few different helmets that cut thru the wind just great!

I know the tendency is to go the the biggest riser but keep in mind how tall you are! I'm 5'3" and have a two inch riser which is just perfect for me. If your 6'2" you really will needto get a taller riser just to get the same effect.
