I believe Radco is running HD risers. You may want to shoot him a PM.

TC is right......... I had the HD risers,, I had the 4" Pull back model,, Stock cables.. You will also need stud adapters as the HD riser have a 1/2" hole and US threads.. The adapters I got were from Scoot Works 1/2"x10mm about 15$..So far Joe (Chuckster) doesnt make the stud adapters..Someone at the VROC was selling adapters he had made for around 5$. Not sure if he still has any left.I rearly go there.. Feel free to drop me a email or PM

I am running a set of 4" risers with an additional 1/2" spacer on the bottom. I used a set of handlebars from a Street Glide, running stock cables with no problem.

Sho greg, Don't know if you're asking me or dmyers about the risers. However, mine are 4" pullback style. They are not straight.

they pull back maybe an 1" they do make a big difference.
I didnt like them though when the bars got higher it turned my wrists in to much. so I decided to go with different bars.
thats why im selling the risers

I use risers made for a Harley. It would be interesting too see how many Harley riders use risers made for a Kawasaki. Show of hands...anyone? Anyone?
