installed yesterday and went for a short ride of 100 miles.ill tell you no back pain on shoulder pain. i just cant belive how much more fun to ride. the only thing with the install was it said to install bolts on the triple tree first but when you do that there is not enough room to install the nuts on the bars. i removed the bolts on the triple tree did the nuts first then bolts. took about a half hour and was well worth it.no more leaning over the tank. i'm 5'8"tall.

These worked fine on my 2005 Honda Shadow Aero VT-750. The bolts that came with them where 1" too short, but, $3.46 later I had two longer CRES bolts and it all went together well. Had to re-route my clutch cable....easy. What a world of difference that only 2" makes.

These risers are a very high quality finish,,I extended my cables, all of them 2" after installation, necessary? in my opinion yes,,I did ride with the stock cables for a couple of months after the installation, but they were tight,,almost strained.You may consider purchasing a chrome triple tree cover previous to installation as it completes the look. Overall due to the new position of the bars, it has lessened back fatique greatly and you do not find yourself putting your weight on the bars as before, making it so much better for cornering etc,,One of the most useful additions you can make!

Exactly what I needed. I'm 5'10" and the reach for the stock drag bars put me in an uncomfortable riding position. Installation was not difficult but I was concerned about the length of the stock cables and connections. After installation, the stock cables and connections are fine...but it is VERY close. Follow the installation instructions and be careful. Installation took approximately 30 minutes.

They do what they are suppose to and puts you in a more upright position instead of bent over. I'm 6 feet tall and have a long reach but the stock position made for tired shoulders and back. All the stock cables and hoses were retained. They don't stretch the lines like the Kewl Metal risers because they aren't dropped down they retain the stock angle. They were easy to install I did it by myself and it wasn't hard just take your time and make sure you have a thick blanket folded up an the tank to prevent damage.
