Pullback risers

Stock cables and lines will work for anything up to about 5" pullback risers. You may have to locate some of the lines/cables from passing through the triple tree to being behind the triple tree. Be careful to examine how tight the front brake line is against the tank in a full right lock of the handlebars.

These are the ones I bought. Had to shave the inside of the holes a tad but there is good information on this site how to do that.

easy job, big improvement

What is the best site for risers? I dont need anything higher but if they would come back 1 or 2 inches it would help at full lock it's a stretch. Would the cables reach the risers? Any suggestion would be a great help thanks to all who have helped in the past

My experience. The 1800 C has the flatter, 'beach cruiser' style bars. After I bought her, 20 min. after getting on her, my arms started to ache. Did some research like you, and decided there were 2 styles, rounded stock like Aeromach, or rectangular stock, like Rivco. Then there were options like chrome or aluminum. I have the 1800 C so I had a little more flexibility with cable length than the other models. So I could go with a 6" riser, which is a couple inches up, and a couple inches back. Without having to replace cables or hoses. Other than a C model, the limit is 4" up n back. Man, what a difference it made my riding! No more fatigue.

Take a look at the Rox products as well. They don't pull back so much as give you some pivot ability. I installed the 2 inch version this weekend and like it so far. A lot of these are a friction fit, so I do worry about slippage. However, they are designed to ADV and dirt bikes which get a lot more handle bar forces than does the average cruiser. They are $100 for a set though.

I installed Rivco Risers shorthly after I purchased my VTX 1300C many years ago and love them. A couple inches up and back was perfect for me (5'10", 190#). Also installed a Mustang seat. Bike fits me like a glove now, I'll never sell it!
