Hello from South Africa 🇿🇦. Loved your clear cut, no bullshit, install video. Well done 👏 boys. I was thinking of getting the SST bars, but I think that your wires, cables, etc that come from the handlebars won't fit into that neat covers. it has to be cable tied, but you have infinite adjustment. with these it looks like everything looks stock after the install.what was the cable ties for? thanks once again and safe riding bud.
Zip ties were for just incase you needed for holding the wires in place I think. Didn't need to use though. Yeah my brother was looking into changing out the handlebars, but he tried these risers first. He is still contemplating new bars. Everyone has their own position for their arms to be comfortable. Thanks for watching and stay safe out there 👍
Of coarse, lol. Money is burning a hole in his pocket. I need a pay raise, so I can start getting some accessories. Lol. Thanks for watching and stay safe out there Nore 👍
My brother said it is better. We just got back from VAMM22 and after the long ride on the highway, he said he thinks he wants more pullback. He's looking into options. Thanks for watching and stay safe out there 👍
Such a clean install. Those plastic pin screw things have come a long way. The ones on my old bike were a PITA. Did the directions say to use the JIS screwdriver? Great video and thanks for sharing.
1 year later, does your brother think it was worth the effort to gain the 2 inches? Or does he wish he went straight with the costlier option that allows more flexibility? Thanks for the awesome vid!
Thanks for watching. The risers definitely made it alot more comfortable and removed most of the pain in my shoulders. I like the looks of the original bars, though I would prefer having a little more play with putting them where i want them. If I were to start over again on a new bike, I would probably go with the new bars instead of the risers, but currently happy enough to leave these as they are.
Have I got it wrong? They say there’s 2 inches of pullback, but after the install, it looks like 2” of push forward…I.e. the bars look like they’re set 2” further forward. But then when you sit on the bike it’s all good…. I’m confused.
yeah if you look at how they install, it is sorta misleading, it looks like they will push the bars away from you, but what they do is change the angle, so the bars arent straight out anymore, and the grips end up tipped closer to you. it does take a couple of days to get use to the angle of the grips but they do get closer to you.
Haha I like the warning in the intro xD I feel that same way when people ask me for help to work on their motorcycles
Yeah, everyone seems to like my not a mechanic warning. Lol. Thanks for watching and stay safe out there 👍
Great job on the install walk through very detailed. It's amazing the difference those little things can make. 👍
Yeah, helped my brother out, by making it more comfortable for him. Thanks for watching and stay safe out there 👍

Nice work on the install man. Really detailed. Be curious if y’all like the bar positioning better now.

JIS screwdriver, who reads directions. Lol. Not sure if was in there or not. Thanks for watching and stay safe out there 👍
Nice work guys good video I am sure it will help some other wing riders!!!
Thanks. Yeah wasn't to hard. Thanks for watching and stay safe out there 👍
I’m thinking about risers for the GTR1400. Maybe.
These risers helped a bunch for him. He said still needs more of a pullback though. Thanks for watching and stay safe out there 👍

I will have my brother reply with his thoughts on this. Thanks for watching and stay safe out there 👍

Thank you so much for the helpful info and update! Safe riding gentlemen!

Forgot to say, great video. I’ve ordered a set and this will really help! Thanks.
@@nielsf2743 Thanks for the compliment. Hope they work out for you. Thanks for watching and stay safe out there 👍

@@ericschult1555 ah ha! Who knew. Thanks for the explanation.
