Riser Plate for Gen I

[Decemberling]

I currently have the Motorcycle Larry (MCL) Riser Blocks for my '03 Gen I. I can't really compare them to the stock as they came with the bike when I bought it and have not tried it w/o the risers, however I do find that when I am in full chill mode on the highway I still have to reach forward more than I would like. I think I am running in to this problem due to having a rider backrest and highway pegs, leading to a semi reclined seating position. The MCL blocks move the bars 1.5" up and 1.75" back towards me. The Helibar riser plate for Gen II&III, however, can adjust the bars up to 1" up and 3" back.

My question is: Is there any way to install the Gen II/III riser plate on a Gen I? Or alternately, does anyone know of a Gen I riser/plate that will provide more rising/raking than the MCL ones? Or - does anyone have ideas on how to combine risers or modify existing ones to achieve the same desired end-result? Lastly - would I even notice the difference? The riser plate gains 1.25" back, but loses .5" down.

You may need to get longer brake lines, cables and wiring to move the bars back any farther.

I have seen pictures of stacked risers on a GEN I, don't remember the brand though. As mentioned ^^^^ line length will become an issue.

Anything is possible with enough money, the HeliBridge installs using the four handlebar mounting bolts on GEN II/III bikes.

Good luck!
