These may work for some people, but they didn't work for me with only the one position option. I sent these back and ordered the Kuryakyn brand handlebar risers that have a variety of position options in one kit. |

I just returned from a 100 day, 15,000 mile tour around the US https://www.darnton.ws/~USA_2009_Motorcycle_Tour/) with these risers, and have used them for 25,000 miles so far. Simply put, these risers are inexpensive and do the job, so why pay more? They are essential for long-legged riders such as myself, because without them the clutch and brake handles contact your thighs at full lock in a low-speed turn, and when that happens you and the bike fall over. This only happens once, because after that you always take your inside foot off the peg in a tight turn. Not a very good technique, the DMV would flunk you. Get these risers, and unless you're REALLY tall that won't happen again. (I like being big, but there are times when I envy you smaller riders!) I must warn you that the installation is absolutely maddening (I have big hands; see above), but that's Honda's fault, not the risers'. The instructions are just barely adequate. Good luck with it. Try to find someone at your local GWRRA chapter to help who's removed the dash panels before. The speakers have to come out of their mounts too, which is easy only if you know how that works (I didn't, but I learned). I lost three screws in the process (they're down inside somewhere, and after a trip to my Honda dealer I replaced 'em), but I got it done. Still five stars, because none of these problems are related to the shims themselves. |

It helps with the pain between the shoulders on long rides. |
