I installed the Lightening Euro Style Risers I got from Eddy this weekend. I am real happy with the new riding position and looks. I don’t feel so stretched out any more.

the bent risers make a big difference, what rise are those ones? I've been running 6" risers similar to those for close to 12 months, I like them

These have a 4 inch rise with a 1 ½ inch pull back.

How are those different than the ones from Rivco?

RIVCO has different stuff from Joker. Both offer great stuff for our bikes and good quality too!

Love my Rivco risers. They look great AND made a huge difference in riding comfort.

Has anyone had problems with the RIVCO risers and the throttle cable? I just put them on and there wasnt enough play in the cable.

Move the throttle cables to the right side of the frame.

Worked for me.

Ill give that a try. Oh, and what did you do with the front turn signals? I cant fully turn the bar in either direction. I was thinking of just taking them off or rigging them to sit on top.

Thx,

I bought the turn signal relocation kit from Fasteddy.

They clamp around the top fork shrouds.

Hi Frank. How do you handle the wiring needed to relocate the signals? Is there a patch cable to extend the wiring or just solder things up to an extension and put the wiring in a conduit?

I want to put lowers on the bike, and was also wondering if that would be possible with the relocated signal lights.

Do you have an America or Speedmaster?

Thx,
H.

I have a Speedmaster with America bars and Speedmaster risers.

The relocation brackets come with all the wiring and just plugs in. I had to cable tie (zip tie)the wiring in place.
If you get the wiring in the right place it is really not noticable.
