Dealer installed these risers for one hour's labor today on my 2014 CB1100 standard. He rerouted one or more cables with no problems... So far I don't notice much difference in how I feel when riding the bike, but I can say they move the bars back 2" (not 1 3/8th as claimed in ad) and up about a half inch when measuring perpendicular from the ground up.

I will be having the stock seat revamped by MeanCityCycles in Maiden NC one of these times...Close enough that I can do it on a ride-in basis. Risers cost about $115 shipped plus one hour's labor at $80.
I'll have more to say after a longer ride, and also after revamping the stock seat which I find uncomfy unless I sit very far forward...
When I sit at the rear of the rider's part of the seat I feel like I am sliding forward.
Stay tuned.
I'd be interested in hearing your after-ride report Bob...
And... maybe take a photo? Be interesting to see how they look on your bike.

Well, if you go to the link I provided there is a photo of the risers on a suzuki or something like that....I actually thought it was a photo of the CB1100 until I looked real close. They look just like the photo on my bike except I have a windshield whose braces attach to the front two bolts of the risers. If I get a chance I'll take a photo and post it...
I lowered the back of my CB, 1.5 inches, shorter shocks. They helped with the sliding forward. I have also added a Corbin seat.

Good for you...Sounds smart.

Hey Bob, what kind of lower shocks did you find for the CB?
You will want to ask Carguy199 about the shocks..I merely quote him in my comment.
I also have those on my 2013 CB. The cables are a bit tight but not binding anywhere. It gives a more upright and comfortable ride for me.

Did you have to re-route any of the cables or wiring?
I purchased the shocks off eBay. They where $85 for the pair shipped. They aren't the high dollar Olhins that others have, but they work fine for me.
