GL1500, GL1800 Chrome Passenger Board Risers

Had these installed on my 2009 GL1800 when I bought the bike. My wife is 5'0 so her feet wouldn't touch the factory set passenger floorboards. After putting a few thousand miles on the bike my wife loves these. A must have for the shorter passengers.

Product generally performs as advertised. After a 100 mile ride, my passenger feels that adding the risers has been a good decision. Adjustability is reasonable, although may require removing the risers from the bike to put the footboards into the lower positions.

Another plus is that the risers do not need to be removed from the bike when removing the bike's body parts (battery and fuse box cover, etc.) that they're mounted in front of, as long as you're careful.

Installation issues cause the less than top rating. You MUST have a 13mm SOCKET ... an open- or closed- end wrench won't do. The washers are slightly larger than the space where they go on the footboards and, rather than torque down on a washer that didn't fit, I used some other washers that I fortunately had. The 5mm allen wrench must not have a shaft that's much longer than 3/8" on the short side or else you'll be removing the risers from the bike to install and/or change the position of the footboards.

Appearance of the product shipped does not match the product picture. The risers that I received resemble the Kuryakin risers ... parallelogram shape rather than rectangular ... slots are angled rather than vertical.

Made my passenger much more comfortable. She is happy, enough said.

Another great product. I put them on my '92 1500 and my wife approves. No more 'sore hips', which might pay dividends. Tricky to remove the battery/fuse cover, but it can be done without removing the riser. I ended up using the single-piece spacers that were behind the existing floorboard mount because it had less give than the spacers supplied.

If your wife or girl friend is vertically challenged, then these are a must. I have had to put them on every Wing I have had. My wife of 40 years is on 4'10" and they are a must for her to be comfortable while riding.
