Because of this thread I decided to remove the risers from my 04 & I like it much better without them. Seems to handle better. At 5'9" with a Russell seat I thought I needed them. Sold them on the forum in 15 minutes!
Just installed the tuning block I purchased from forum member FTompa. Very well made quality piece. Using it with a V-Stream & I think I have finally found the perfect combination. All the way down my helmet is in a totally smooth air flow just like a unfaired bike. As you raise the shield you...
I have one on my 04 & like it. I use it as my cold weather shield. Makes a nice still air pocket if I raise it just a bit.
I run the stock shield all the way down in the warmer months. Bought it for $80 here used. Watch the for sale board or post an ad on the wanted board.
My 04 had a strong vibration at 4000rpm that I just accepted as normal. When I finally got around to the Barbarian jumper mod & increased the co settings by 7 it really smoothed things out. Idle is now very stable & engine is amoother at all RPM's.
Looking for a set of Gen 1 risers. Prefer Heli type that also move bars back closer to rider.
Just installed a Russell seat & I now sit higher & a little further back.
