Anyone tried risers from D & D

[Mark]

New To Me 03' FJR. So let the farkling begin. By the way, what amount is a "farkle buck". In the boating world a "boater buck" was equal to $100.00.

So, to the farkling end I was googling risers and ran across these. They offer two models and let you try them out (both models) and then return one or both of them for a refund.

I would like feedback on them if you have used them or your thought if you have not. Just click on the clicky

I have a pair of 3/4" up if you are interested. $40 with shipping. No bolts or covers.

Well, I guess I don't know how to clicky yet. Let's try it the old fashioned way.

Should I take that as a less than sterling review? What's the problem with them?

Nope, to the contrary, these are fine pieces of work. Problem is that they just didn't work for me. I needed the splayed-out type - at the time, only offered by another vendor. They've been sitting on my shelves waiting for a good home...

I have a pair of the 3/4" up and 1" back risers. very clean look and work well for me.

Ditto. I've had the D&D's since I got my '05...much more comfortable ride for me. YMMV.

Ditto for me too - I put the D&D's on my '03 when it was new and am a very satisfied customer.

I think the term "farkle buck" refers to the reaction my wife gives when I tell her I'm going to get something for the bike and she says no...

Not using them now though...

Right. D&D only introduced their "splayed-out 10 degree" type a while after their "original". I use them myself. :good:

... By the way, what amount is a "farkle buck". In the boating world a "boater buck" was equal to $100.00.

Damn! You must be talking about a rowboat. I thought it was common knowledge that one "boat buck" equals $1,000.00!

You are right, I left a 0 out. I had just spent $1700 on my boat and when we were sea trialing it something else tore up that was gonna cost me another $2200. I had the part ordered and then . . . KATRINA! While the storm was raging I thought of my boat, thought I was gonna have a tear, but then didn't. Oh well, saved 2.2 boater bucks.
