Pullback risers
#1

I don't mind the bars the way they are. The position seems to work with the little fairing. But it would be a bit more comfortable if they were up and back a little. My only concern is I'll be more upright and maybe a bit more of a target for the wind.

Any suggestions?

I put 2 inch Roxx risers on mine with a taller K&H seat so I’m pretty upright and did not notice any increase in wind drag.

I used an older version of these on my '14 Standard that made a big difference.
The cables seemed to have just enough play without having to do anything.
The risers bring the bar up and back closer to you.

I didn't notice any difference with wind, but much more comfortable riding position for me.

$16 off Ebay did the same thing as the Roxx. the bottom part was a tad loose. final solution was wrapped once around the middle with safety wire to fill the gap and bolted down. solid as a rock now and you can't tell looking at it.

After another forum member suggested them, I bought a pair of GenMar risers. They raise the bars up 1" and back 1 3/8 inches. Unfortunately I will have to wait until May to try them.

Can you link to that or similar item?

Thank you. They are definitely pullback kind, not just straight up risers?

Also, does anyone ever tried using a rubber gasket to decrease vibration? Touring bikes do that upgrade often.

yes, they swivel any way you want them. I tried rubber for the slight mis-fit that I described and it worked ok. it did dampen vibration like you suggest, but I just couldn't get used to the lack of a really solid feel to the bars. that's why I finally went with the safety wire.
