I just took the plunge and installed Thunderbird risers on my 2013 R3T. They look and feel great. I now have the clearance necessary to mount my touring windshield. At initial sit on the bike they are great for pull-back with very little rise. I have a long ride planned in the morning and will quickly determine if this is the right setup.
Risers are paired with OEM bars from a Honda Valkyrie. Slightly narrower than the stock 2013 bars.
Pictures to follow.

If that rise isn't quite enough, JBQ also makes spacers for the Touring (and Thunderbird) for an additional 1.25" rise. $42 shipped with bolts.

I know it's an old thread, but the risers and Classic bars on my Touring were the best mods I ever did, and I did a lot of mods.
Been running a set of Roadster bars for about a year now but was starting to find the stretch a bit much on long journeys.
Went down the dealers and bought a pair of Thunderbird risers, bolts, washers and caps and problem solved! Easy installation and just enough rise and pullback to transform the riding position

And it keeps coming up too.
The old part numbers from 2011 have changed as often occurs with Triumph updates and some online parts listers include the old part number and some do not. Many parts listers are deleting their part numbers links to specific models. So you can find the part and description but no fitting or model details.
The shorter stock chrome Thunderbird 1600/1700 ones work and Triumph have released 2011 longer versions in Black as well as Chrome for the Storm and Speedmaster accessory versions.
Below are the stock short T'bird risers that feature in the thread above.

The Jack Be Quick risers may no longer be available from our forum member but I just found a cheap alternative who will even make to the height of choice.
The JBQ ones look great but I believe @VABird is no longer making them.
I just found another cheaper supplier of a more basic design though he offers to make them whatever height you want. buy multiple sets (up to 4) and they drop 2 pound to just 11 quid a set.
Price: £12.95 each pair/set
