Handlebar Riser Install

[T-Rex]

Just had Rivco risers installed on my R3C, what a difference it makes. The riser raises the handle bar one inch and pushes it back 2 inches. I'm 6'1 and 285 and after the install I rode 120 miles home - I could tell the difference, I have a bad back and it seems like the improved riding position my alleviate my pain. I recommend the Rivco Riser for the R3.

Note: Rivco has a kickstand pad and a brake pedal for the R3 - these items will not fit on a Triumph Rocket III Classic. I had to send one of each back to Rivco for credit. Ensure any item you order will fit your exact bike model.

Ride Safe,

The website states a "minor" rerouting of the cables is required. What kind of rerouting was done? Thanks.

Re-routing and will they work with a Corbin fairing? If any one knows

You have to re-route your cables to the other side of the triple trees. (Front to back) and then there is also a small block to re-mount the brake line backwards as well.

Does your Corbin mount to the handlebars or mounts? If not, the cable re-route would be fine with the faring I would think . . .

Mounts, Thanks.

I put the Rivco bar risers on my R3 standard a couple of weeks ago. My main objective was to try to keep my hands from going numb. It helped some, instead of 15-20 minutes of feeling I am up to about 45 minutes let's say. That is if I can keep from leaning back so my arms are in the old position. Keeping my elbows bent seems to help.

It took a little while to do and it gives you a chance to get to know your bike. Follow the detailed instructions!

I should probably go with the ignition relocator and use the extra room behind the windscreen for a manpurse.

I will give it a good feel, heading to Sturgis to meet up with Wildwilley...

exhaust tape $50
bar risers $140
Seeing Wildwilley cut loose @ Sturgis...priceless!!!

Bill,
you have fun, ride safe, and get lots of pictures.
YES of the women, of course.
And some of willy too.
A manpurse??? WTF,
Bro, I'll get you a tool bag if ya need one..

Instead of going through the agony of screwing around with disconnecting the clutch and throttle cables; in order to re-route them behind the top triple tree cover....

....why not just remove the handlebars; loosen the top triple tree pinch bolts and triple tree stem nut; and then simple lift up the triple tree cover and re-route the cables behind it?


I did this on my VTX1300R, I would imagine that it could be done just as well on the Rocket 3.

Thoughts?



Kindest regards,

Hey Will, congrats again on that Rocket. It's a big difference form the VTX1300. That's what I had before.
The riser install / cable re-route is easier on the Rocket. I did like you mentioned with the VTX, but on my R3T, I just disconnected one end of the cable and re-routed it behind the tree. 10 minutes.
