In case anyone is looking for R3T risers, there is an alternative! I believe it has been brought up on this forum in an older post. I just got a pair of Rivco risers that were for Thunderbird. Part # TB017.
Went on, no issues. Used the OEM bolts. Brake hose rerouted

Could you take a pic from further back to see how the bars look against the whole bike?

Thanks...

I have been looking on the Rivco site for these risers and can't find them. The only ones I see are for a Honda . I'll try to call tomorrow when they are open . Any help will be appreciated .

I am not sure Rivco still sells them. I got them off eBay. I was lucky to look outside of my regular search for rocket III touring parts. And I have learned from this forum that the Thunderbird ones may fit, which they did!

@Gregger , I took the mistress out for a ride.
Here's a full pic to see what the risers look like on it.

Looks like they have to be more comfortable

They actually make the ride much more comfortable for me. I have short arms and I used to have this tendency to lean forward causing back pains.
