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.

Gotcha! Thanks Crazyman, I'll do that....


Kindest regards,

-Will

Well, thank you kindly. I apologize for not introducing myself before I poised a question here.

I got a good deal on an '08 Rocket.






Kindest regards,

Riser install

I love the riser in mine too. But a mech moved my clutch cable without letting me know and it developed a hole in the outer rubber. I went to a local dealer (H-D) and ordered a 3" over Stainless braided cable from Barnett. It is a good investment. I think 2" over stock wil be long enough. I like the look and maneuverability. Cost about double the stock rubber cable at $84

Pull-back risers vs alternate bars

G'day crazyman... I've just purchased the R3 Touring and find (being vertically challenged at 5'4") that I'm hunched forward while riding and really have to reach forward when performing U-Turns. Am therefore considering the risers; or if anyone knows of bars that come back more than the standard.

If anyone can advise on this I'd very much appreciate it before I fork out $$$

Thanks....Emu

Ozman,

Yes they work with the Corbin fairing.
