handlebars

@dirtbagbiker
These look very interesting to me and you have them correctly lined up with the front forks.
Might just have to get a set to see how they fit a Roadster.
Thanks for the post and pix!

I put Rivco risers and then added the classic bars to my '06 standard which also has the Corbin dual seat. My '06 standard has higher foot control rails than the classic so it works for my 5' 11" height.

I am looking for suggestions on different handlebars. I am a short guy, 5-7 and my sleeve lenght is a 33 so I tend to be leaning forward.

Any suggestions on handlebars that would put e in a more comfortable position for long rides.

Thanks,
Eric

Eric - as you ride a "T" - There is potentially an option albeit a VERY EXPENSIVE one. Heli-Bars. I'm pretty sure their Horizon Rebel bars would fit. On Roadsters/Classics/Standards they'd probably clip the instruments. Made for RoadKings https://www.helibars.com/product/ha...multi-adjustable-replacement-handlebar-system

FYI - I just measured up the Classic bars I bought and compared them to the stock Roadster bars.
They are 33" wide, 8" at the base, 10.5" tall and 11" set back compared to the Roadster bars at 35.5" wide, 7" at the base, 11" tall and 9.5" pull back.
Classic bars should definitely move the hands back some but they will also be lower.

Thunderbars seem right.

I just got rivco risers for my standard and want to know just how crazy I need to get rerouting cables, is there anything I should be warned about?

Rivco risers on a standard doesn't need new cables. Follow the rerouting instructions Rivco sends with the kit. You may also want to be a little creative, but it does work.

my instructions consisted of a sheet of paper thanking me for my purchase of "original triumph acc's" in about 15 languages! I probably threw out the actual instructions in my hurry to unwrap my new shiny things. Just wondering if I need to move/raise tank?

I found Rivco's pdf installation instructions on their site, all good now,tky
