I installed the same type Risers just yesterday. These came from our great folks (Brent, Jessica) at New Bonneville. The Machining is very good, although as you can see on Rodney’ picture there is a little mismatch at the bottom so you get a little overhang on each side. The look takes a little while to get used to and I think you forfeit a little handling response but the comfort well makes up for it as it really takes the pressure off of your wrists and gives you a more comfortable sitting position (more up right rater then leaning over the tanks). Installation was easy as cake and like Rodney says us a towel for the tank, I used a piece of foam padding to protect the tank, alternatively you could take the tanks off if you wish. One note is when I tested the full turning of the handle bars the lower clutch cable plastic fastener on the frame snapped off as it is very tight once the risers are on so I would go ahead and take the cable out of that lower fastener first to preclude breaking it like I did. No big deal as I will not be using it again anyways. Other then this I would rate these as very good with very easy installation.
