I know it! Maybe it's because you should lay down your bike on the opposite side... duh!

lmao!

Anyone know why most of my pics come in sideways?

 Not sure why but most times when people use a phone the pictures come out on their side or upside down.

I have my risers behind my windscreen and you do not even know that they are there. I just found I could not use a windscreen bag anymore as the flap is in the way of the risers or the risers are in the way of the flap. But I sure like the feel of the bars and how I am sitting now.

I don't like the way they look either.  Too close together.  I know it's the same hole as stock, but he height just makes it look weird.

Yes, I am using a phone for he pics.

 Are you using a phone to take the pictures?

Not sure if I am a fan of those risers......

   Hate to say I bought those black ones from a lad who had his own bike repair shop here in town and then he had a long bitter fight with cancer and sold everything off. I scored these from him, and had them powder coated and really liked the height and pull back on them and they give me the perfect position for my way of riding. I never did learn what the brand was or were he got them, and there is no makings on them

I like those black ones.  Seems like most folks that have risers also have wins shield that "hide" the risers themselves.  I have a small windshield I may put back on to see how I like it with the risers.

I didn't just go for a very short ride and I really like the new feel.  I feel like I have more control and it is way more comfortable.  I'm very pleased!

ok I had a choice of these 2 styles of risers and went with the black set.

I tried that, but the tension was such that I couldn't get it out of the lever.  Saw a good video from Revzilla that showed a repair on a clutch cable on a Harley.  So I finally got everything done and I believe put back in the right place.  But I have a little concern about the actual cable up by the lever.  I may end up just getting a new cable all together and trying to replace the current one.

If you could, do you have pictures of your bike with an up close of the risers?  I'd like to see them on someone else's bike.

  When I added my risers I just undid the clutch at the lever and did not touch it anyplace else. Then replaced it once I did the re routing and is done and working fine. Once we see the pictures we might be able to help you out.

Hahaha!!!  Oh, it happened!!!  I got the banged up knuckles and smudged chrome to prove it.  But I will try and get some pictures up this evening when I get home.
