Will Return These
| I bought these based off the positive reviews I read here and let me just say I am no mechanic but I can usually get the job done with decent instructions. That being said, the instructions are anything but decent which seems to be a common theme among motorcycle aftermarket parts. Maybe dealers pay off these manufactures in an attempt to get folks to bring their bikes in for $80-$100 an hour service rates. My local dealer said they would need 2 days to do the install......seriously? I can buy a lot of ibuprofen to relieve the aching muscles caused by the stock bars for that bill. Anyway, the install was cruising right along (thanks to youtube and not the included "instructions") until I noticed the cables weren't long enough with the new riser inserted. Not having a cable stretcher handy (sorry, old joke from my Military days), I removed the riser and put everything back together. I'm sure they work great but the residual cost is far more that I care to spend. I'll just take more breaks and stay out of iron butt rallys. On the flip side, I looked into taller handlebars for my Electra Glide and was told I'd be looking in the ballpark of $1,000. I suddenly liked to position of the bars on each bike better. Hope this helps. |

| I bought this last summer and returned it to Wingstuff 2 days later. It was difficult to install, the mounting hardware didn't quite line up and I could not find a position to satisfy. I rode approximately 1 mile before turning around and removing it. Changing positions is difficult at best. My passenger also immediately noticed the bars were in her way and made the seat uncomfortable for her. I also ordered some Kuryakyn highway pegs at the same time. Maybe its just the company but those pegs didn't seem to fit quite right either but I kept them. |
