Rivco Risers

[Elvis]

I just boiught some of the Rivco Risers to put on the R3T, has anyone here put them on? Pretty easy Mod? I have been asked join a group for a weekend ride and every time I ride more than 4 hours straight it makes my neck and top of my shoulders hurt, I am hoping this is a fix.

Rainman put the rivco risers on my r3t for christmas and also a different clutch cable.
It was easy to do and it sure makes a big difference. They say you dont have to get a longer clutch cable all you have to do is reroute the original but they got me a longer one anyway.This way there is no chance of it getting pinched.

Good Luck

I live in KY and bought my bike at Castle Powersports in Nashville. When the tire recall came out I found out they only sold mine and one more, are you the other one?

I put the Rivco risers on in about 20 minutes. Put a blanket or stack of towels over the tank ! I did re route the clutch cable.
That part took an hour. I ended up removing one end from the clutch and had to fiddle around to get the tension back to where it was supposed to be.

Crazyman, did the risers corrent any neck or shoulder pain you had? Do you have a close up picture of them on?

Cool, I have always wondered who bought the other R3T out of the store where I bought mine. That is one thing I like about this bike, you don't see them everywhere.

You don't need a longer clutch cable. You just route it to the inside of the bars instead of the outside. I hate to be a party pooper, but I got the same neck and shoulders tension when riding the R3T. I tried the Rivcos and added a rider backrest. Neither helped. I bet I tried tweaking the bars up and down 5 or 6 times. Nothing helped.

How tall are you? Are you a big guy? I am 6'3" and scale out at 330. I have a 37' sleeve. If we are close in size I will return them and same the money.
