I have a speedmaster and i have to hunch foreword a little too much for comfort on longer riding days. Ive seen some riders out there that bring the bars back a little. Any recommendations?
We know why dogs stick their heads out of car windows.

I just used a set of riser 1" extentions on my superglide. (That's right I own a Harley as well as an America)I turned the ones I used on my lathe. If you would like PM me and I could discuss turning you up a set for your speedie.

Always remember to be yourself. Unless you suck. Then pretend to be someone else.

I've got the same ones as on Ian's Speedie. Drilled out the holes in the upper t tree to 1/2" for the fatter bolts.

There are adapters out there so you don't have to drill but either way works.
