Well Jim has spacers for your Triumphs. Spacers are 1 inch tall by 1 inch wide (the Bonny America spacers are 1 1/4 inch wide) that go below your present risers. New bolts and locknuts included. They work with your stock cables and wires. No need to reroute any wires or cables. And they look good too. check them out at: http://www.spacerjim.com/Spacers.htm

I was skeptical but the spacers are very cool and helped quite a bit. My short stubby arms didn't feel like they were reaching so much for the bars.

Yep, worked on my bike. One of these days I'll strip & polish the risers and spacers.

I got them a few years ago. Ended all back pain. Great fit, finish, and riding position. Highly recommended.

Not sure about your risers but the spacers will polish up like chrome.

SpacerJim, will they fit a Speedmaster? (for cable length, etc.)

No sorry, the Speedmaster risers aren't round. I would have to get one in order to see if I can make them.

Hi Jim!
Yes I too have your spacer's installed. I installed them January 23, 2005. One thing I did was use washers on the underside of the triple tree.  any thoughts on including two washers with the bolt sets? You can see how naked the situation is without the washer.

Thanks for being the first kid on the block with your spacers, which are a great product!

Good idea. I'll get some washers and supply them with the kits.
Thanks,
