I am looking at putting a set of handlebar risers on the R3. I have seen the Rivco brand advertised. They look pretty good>>>But I like to know all the options. Anyone else tried another brand like cycle chrome ??
Thanks
 
Russ,
I'm having a custom set machined,
as I want them 6" higher, and 4" back.
all I know about is the triumph ones and the Rivco.
In fact, the Rivco is what I've got on now..
As soon as I get em, I'll post pictures.
 
I had the rivco risers with stock "standard" bars , they improved the comfort on long trips for sure. I've got a set of thunderbikes fat t-bars on now. They are more comfortable and i reckon they look better too.
 
They are much more comfortable, the rivco's are the limit as far as not having to replace brake lines and cables. My only complaint is that you can't easily raise the tank after installing them, the gauges have to come off now to get under the tank. It was always the recommended way according to the book, but i used to be able to sneak it up past the instruments until the risers moved the bars back. It's a worthwhile trade.
 
I had the Rivco on my 05 and they worked great. Did not have to remove anything to raise the tank. I traded in my 05 for an 09 and kept the risers, now I have to remove the guages and loosen the tab at the front of the tank to raise the tank up.
 
+1 on the Rivco. I'd like to get another inch for it to be perfect but they did help tremendously, big difference. I did have to go with longer brake lines with my classic bars (on a standard bike).
