- July 15, 2019, 14:14:33 PMMore proof some of these parts guys are only good at typing. It is almost routine to attach risers intended for HD onto metric bikes. Many companies make the adapter studs. One end has the 1/2-13 threads of the HD riser, the other end has the 10mm thread of the metric triple tree. One of the first mods I did on mine.
Metric Specs: 10mm x 30mm stud w/10mm D x 11mm shoulder
Honda and some Suzuki models have a 12mm, so you want to be sure you get the one for Kawasaki.

- July 09, 2019, 11:52:51 AMDoes anyone know the thread size for the bolts that hold the handlebar risers on the tree? Im havinfits trying to find a kit. I called Barons, Phat Performance Parts, and Dennis Kirk and they all tell me that there is no such animal for fastening risers on a 2005 kawasaki vulcan drifter 1500. Where can I get some pullback risers for my ride? Anyone???
