Hi, a gal here, great installation video. My risers are on order. Can't wait to install and the clip tips on cables was a bonus, thanks for making tutorial.
I have the same risers on my se and also the rear rack you fitted in your last video. I have combined the rear rack with the honda soft panniers and rails, great combo. Cheers for the tip on the brake line as i never fitted my risers so i dunno if the person who fitted them knew to pop the cable out.
No everything seemed to fit fine. That said I would not recommend getting larger risers or higher bars without getting new cables. This seems to bring it to the safe limit.
Comfort is certainly better. Less or a hunched over position and more neutral. Yes the handle bar is further away from the tank now on full locked turns.
@@my2wheels glad to help. These are the reasons I put out these videos. For those with questions will dig for less common videos with the answer. Cheers - Mike
@@michaelthompson7570not with these risers. Larger risers you would need to. I did need to loosen the line by removing it from the rubber grommet. I show where in the video
Mike, you mentioned that this mod was for your father. How tall is he? and did he find they helped his reach and posture position? did you torque any of the bolts and if so what ft. lb ? Thanks DL
He is 5’3” and it helps quite a bit. I’m 5’7” and I notice it’s less of a reach and not so hunched over. Small modification that that certainly is worth it.
I didn’t go by any specific torque. I’ve been working on bikes several years now and just go by feel. That said the torque settings for this should be in the service manual. You can always throw some blue loctite in it
I’m 5’5 on a good day lol, 5’4 really, and I just installed these on my 500 and immediately noticed how much better my posture was. Just an overall better feel. Thanks again, Mike.
It’s just a basic stand with paddle mounts. It’s not great, but it works and doesn’t scratch anything. I’ll try to find a picture, but it’s honestly the most common rear stand
