Flipping risers
08/04/08 at 07:36:32

Can I just flip the risers on my '05 to extend the reach out a little? Has anyone done this, and does it make the steering a little weird or is it alright

also, those little chrome caps on the risers, are those chromed plastic? I started to pop one off with a little screw driver and I think it started chipping apart on me... so I just stopped to make sure I was supposed to pop it off with a screw driver.

Use a razer blade under the little chrome plastic tabs instead of a screwdriver.

Extends the reach out so I didn't feel so cramped at the controls. Yes those are "chrome" covered plastic (Iknow, I know, there's a legal definition of what constitutes "chrome", and plastic is covered; but to me chrome should be metal.) Be sure to put a towel over you tank!!!

But this is ok, because the riding position is so much better that I probably wouldn't do it anyway, hope my windshield still fits...
