Bonneville America Forums Forums Technical Forums Accessories Rivco pullback risers

I was wondering if the 2" pullback risers from newspeedmaster raise the bars up any, or do they just move them back. I'm 6'4" and starting to feel like I'm slouching at times. Don't know if I should give these a try or just go with some mini apes.

If you are interested, have a look at this thread which talk about Duece risers. they work for me and other and will allow you to sit upright and relieve back strain if that's what you are after. here it is Hope it helps

Speedmaster does have risers,4.2 inch,straight up with no pullback

Here´s cheap option. http://www.spacerjim.com/TSpacers.html

Spedmaster risers don't have "pull-back" but they naturally come back becasue of the angle of the front fork. So....the longer the riser the farther back they go.

I put a set on my America and they made a difference with the America bars. Adds to the stretch look too visually.

My bike also has Speedmaster risers and America bars. I am thinking about some risers I found at my friends shop ,Dutches Custom Cycles, they are pull back that are about the same rise as the SM risers and only $40. They are for Hardley though so you would need to reem the top tree.

Or grind/cut the nubbins off!

They certainly pull back further than even the Speedy's, looks at LEAST an additional inch back.

Dang it Jeff, now I have to buy some to "study" my product so I can be authoritative! Don't you dare let my wife know anything different!

Eddy - In my opinion only.....rider comfort index on these bikes in order of mods:

1. Corbin seat + back rest - to remove the back ache
2. Highway pegs - gotta move the legs once in a while
3. Rivco risers - to remove the shoulder ache

Now - about your wife.....you're on your own....

Not really into the look so much with the deuce risers with my america bars, they look better suited for a speedy or something with drag-style bars.

eddy-I thought the same about the 4" risers that they would naturally pull back some due to the angle of the dangle, but again I'm wondering how such long risers would look with america bars. Might look cool though the longer I think of it.

Judging by the pic (great shot loco) those risers may be just what the doctor ordered.

How much of a riser can we put on a TBA before we have to change Cables and hoses??

About an additional inch Tom. Even then, the throttle cables are tight in a right lock position. Moving those cables to the right side of the frame cures that. No other line or cable swap needed. Putting SM risers on is another story however.

Phil:

Thanks for the heads up.

Tom

Put 4" speedmaster risers on a friends america he still has stock control cables We did have to route them about 3 times to get them right but they do work OK I don't think we could get much if any more slack in them
