verholen bar risers

Post by redwing »

found bar risers used ... does anyone have experience with Verholen ... will the cables have to be lengthened? Looks like they are an inch up and an inch back.

I have them on my R. I did not need to replace anything. The cables and wiring accommodate the change without a problem. The front brake hose is fully extended at full lock, but it is acceptable in my opinion.

I had them on my '09 liked them a lot. I did change the front brake cable but its not a necessity. I couldn't transfer them to My '11 which bummed me out. Newer bikes the handlebars flare to a wider diameter.

I have used several of their accessories, & found them of good quality. I have their risers on my 1150R & they fitted as the instructions said, with no lengthening of brake lines needed.

I will add that I think they are way over priced. Look around for other brands at a reduced cost.

Like your avatar, Randy Newman is one of my favorites and that album was his best in my opinion.

Had the MV Verholens on mine four and a half years, with the original cables and lines. No issues whatsoever.

The dealer fitted mine in pre-delivery.
He told me he'd cut all the zip ties on the cables and lines, installed the back-backs, then put new zip ties on afterwards.
My lines don't look at all stretched, even at full lock.
