Title: Handlebar risers...wow
Post by: chris in va on February 24, 2006, 10:34:12 PM
My right hand has been going numb so I bought some risers off Ebay.  Wow, what a difference!  The bike is a lot more comfortable.  I could probably do a lot more distance now.  All I had to do was clip off the straps holding a couple wires to the bar...didn't make any difference to the other controls. 

Now to just get that windshield installed and throw on some bags.  Maybe a jet kit...
