That is true, the cables will be fine as the risers are only 3-inches taller. However check out brents site for the other risers which will probably suit you much better.

Even though I'm not vertically challenged I might consider Brent's risers for next year.
Black or chrome, tough call...

I put on a set of "Jim's Spacers". Modest rise, modest price but great results.

Tom,
Just ordered these from Brent [Chrome]. Is there much change in your riding position and is your ride more comfortable?

Can i ask how much higher those are then the stock speedy risres and whether you needed to lengthen the brake line or cables? Also, did you have to drill the triple clamp?

They're 3", which I believe is approx. the same as the Speedmaster risers, thus.... no cable issues. BUT note: my bike's an America with Speedy bars. If you use these risers on TBA bars, you might have some tight throttle cables.

Yes, I had to drill out my triple tree (not a major task).
