I liked Doug's risers. I wish I had not sent them back. Altho, a couple folks broke the bolts (due to incorrect torquing I'm told), but I don't think there was any inherent design problem.I'm also still running the Doug Hines risers. I thought about sending them back several times, but I really like them.

The install does require removal of the top triple clamp. It is not much of a job but does require a 36mm socket to remove the steering stem nut ($8, Advanced Auto Parts), and a torque wrench for the re-install. The riser block's do away with the factory stud plate, wire harness guide contraption. It replaces it with a simple nut,bolt hook up that is common on many bikes. You must also cut the guide to remove the stud plate from the bike. It took about an hour to do, and was time well spent.I liked Doug's risers. I wish I had not sent them back.

These new deals may be what I'm looking for .... again. The way the stock bike is set up, there's too much weight on the bars/hands and it's just not fun to ride much. Doug's risers were pretty good at eliminating this.
