Website now has pics of powdercoated risers. https://www.goecities.com/drhines/FJR1300Risers.html They are not a 100% match but look pretty good. Welcome to the world of powdercoating. It's not like matching car paint. Also something I didn't realize until after powder coating was that the...

Thanks for the quick help. Aren't these forums great for getting info quick. I had 3 telephone calls with the torque specs in the first 15 minutes. Thanks again. Doug Hines

Would someone lucky enough to already have a Service Manual for their 2006 FJR please look up a torque spec for me. I need to know the torque spec for (1)the nut and the (2)socket head cap screw to mount the handlebar to the triple tree. Please email me at [email protected] or better yet give me...

Good news. We switched machine shops last night because the water jetting cuts for the risers did not have the quality control that we needed and are now doing them on CNC machine. Cost will go down but don't know how much yet but we are making 30 sets of risers on first run instead of 20. I...

Just to give everyone a heads up, I will be on a motorcycle vacation in the Deals Gap area from June 3rd thru June 11th so if you email or call me during this time you will probably not get an answer. Sorry, but everyone has to have play time. I truly expected to have these risers done 3 weeks...

Yes the risers can be rotated outward to give a more straight across grip position. This can be done because of the movement that the Yamaha adjustable handlebars has in the nut where the socket head cap screw goes into their mechanism. At one point I measured more than 1" of movement (forward...

No modifications to wires and cables. Install in 10 minutes. Goto below website for full details on ordering. https://www.geocities.com/drhines/FJR1300Risers.html

Well, they say a picture is worth a thousand words. Below is a pic of risers mounted, handlebars turned fully and locked with key. Eventhough the risers are 1 3/8" tall, the handlebars only have to come up 1 1/8" higher than they do to get over the stock mounting stud. The critical factor is...

Sorry 06 FJR risers are no longer available. Other year models can be checked out at below address https://www.geocities.com/drhines/FJR1300Risers.html Doug Hines Benton, AR

Didn't want to buy new sliders. I read somewhere that 05 owners were adapting the Moko sliders to the 06. I just can't figure out how to do this.

I started out to make the risers 1" tall as my previous models. But I was unable to do this. The threaded stud that Yamaha put on the adjustable handlebar system and the height of it really screwed things up for the riser builders. The 1 3/8" is as low as I can go and still maintain the Yamaha...

The above risers were installed in the full rearward position of the Yamaha adjustment mechanism. There is NO problem with the handlebar wires and cables fitting over the risers. NO modifications are needed to stock wires and cables. Doug Hines

I read post where you can take the Moko Sliders from an 05 FJR install and mount them to the 06FJR using a different length bolt. I tried to do that today. For one the 05 slider bolt is a smaller diameter than the 06 engine bolt at the place where you would mount it. In addition the engine bolt...

Last Monday myself and my friend who just got a new BMW K1200GT rode the twisties all day and swapped off bikes several times so we could both compare both bikes. Here is what I found out about the new GT verses the 06FJR. 1. I think the FJR looks much better. I do not like the big flat side...

Fabone Thanks for the link with pic. No, I've still got my BMW R1200GS. It's my workhorse bike and love it. Doug Hines

Have several left over items from my 05 FJR. Was wondering if my 05 Moko sliders will work on the 06 model. Has anyone tried fixing them. Also where are you getting your fork braces? Is this still a good add-on for the bike. I put my fork brace on my 05 before I ever rode it, so don't really...

If I wanted the bike I would suck it up and get it while it was available. However, I now have my 3rd FJR and haven't paid retail yet. 03 FJR1300 $10,400 05 FJR1300A $11,800 06 FJR1300A $11,800 Doug Hines

Bob I am Doug Hines who makes the handlebar risers for the FJR's. I should have my first prototype of the risers for the new 06 FJR tomorrow and if all is ok should go into production the next week. Keep in touch or you can email me at [email protected] Doug Hines

I still say in the real world that the GT will cost 50% more than the FJR. You quoted MSRP prices for your 39% increase in price. I called 3 BMW dealers and the cheapest quote I got was $18k. My 2006 FJR1300A will be $11,800 out the door and that is 50% increase in price over the FJR. Maybe...
