Good luck with the new scoot. I would also love to see apes on it cause that's something I'm thinking of doing next year

I increased the length of my stock riser by a couple of inches.
You have to reroute the cables to do it.

Here's a picture comparing my stock riser with my taller riser.
Stock buckhorn bars)


Any more than that will require longer cables, wires and brake line

Here is a side view.

Thanks. Vance and Hines doesn't make them for the spirit so i got the ones made for the sabre. It matches up almost perfect.

Nice bike, loved my 1100, wish I could have convinced the wife I needed two machines! Enjoy and ride safe.

Looks pretty darn nice as is. If you weren't wanting to go with apes, I'd say toss a small, dark tinted, cafe/bullet faring on it.



Sorry, but the SOA bike was the quickest image to grab to illustrate.
