Yes, get the adapters... a lot easier and safer to make HD risers work with the Drifter. Baron's has some I believe. Most HD risers are 1/2"-13. Kaw is m10-1.25... they make adapters with hd on one end and metric on the other.

Thanks for the replies fellas. And especially you Gene, I'm going to order the set you're using. Indiana is just starting to warm up. Looking forward to it!

Abby, FYI...you'll need to get adapter bolts. The holes in the triple tree are not large enough to accept the 1/2" riser bolt that the risers are threaded for. Don't even think about drilling out the triple tree...get the adapter bolts...H-D to Kaw.

Old Drifter- maybe the 1500 is slightly different that it doesn't have the clearance issues that the 800 has?

Stay far away from Scootworks, they are bad news. Do a search here and on Google on them. Lots of horror stories. They probably went out of business.  Check these out. https://www.complaintsboard.com/complaints/scootworks-zebulon-north-carolina-c591483.html

I'm finding that my arms are at full stretch riding the Drifter so am considering riser/setbacks. I don't want to have to change cables, wires or hoses. Tried to call and email Skootworks about their Phatrisers. No luck. Phone's disconnected and email won't go through. I've looked at the Rivco and Genmar links. Is anyone here familiar with the Rox Speed FX pivoting risers as sold by J&P cycles?
