Riser

You should be good to go with that setup. you do need run the RSI adapter plate if you run their risers. One thing to check if you are running the stock handlebars. The way the RSI risers bolt to RSI adapter plate the bar clamps are about 1-1 1/2" further apart then the stock clamps. Make sure the clamping surface on the OEM handlebars is wide enough to allow the clamps to bolt on. If it isnt you will need to massage the alumimum risers a little to allow them to clamp onto the bars cleanly. no big deal it is just something you might have to do. You know like every bolt on item that takes a day and half to actually bolt on HeHe.

Yep, I will need to buy the Steering Post Adapter along with the riser since I'm staying with the stock steering post. I think RSI calls out a 122mm spread for the Yamaha mount. I will make sure my bars are ok with that. I emailed them asking as well. I went out and measured how much of a rise I would want, and I was thinking 6" like stock, but when you rotate the bars forward, the 6" seemed way too tall for me.

Last year I was running RSI backcountry bars with a 3in riase, 2 1/2 risers and, & their adapter plate so i was about 6 inches in total rise in the end with OFT's steering relocator. After i took a riding clinic last year i came to relaize with the instructor help I was having problems because the setup was about 1-1 1/2 inches too tall for me. This year I switched things up a little and i am hoping that i hit a sweet spot. I am very close to what you are looking at doing so it should work good for you because think that you are about the same height as me 6' The good thing about the pivot riser is you can move the bars fowards or backwards in little increments to zero in on the prefect setup for you.

I'm only 5'9", so you are a little taller. Did you have to extend your throttle or brake for that rise?

Hey Bill

No the stock OEM lines are fine. if you relocate where they are zip tied under the hood you can actaully get a few more inches out of the stock lines anyway. The stock riser block is 6 inches so you are below that now with your new setup. you should have a little extra to move them around to where you want. they shouldnt be an issue at all

Superman makes some great stuff. I have a Lake Effect riser and it is a very well made component.

Very very well built. It's the way to go for sure. Plus has ways to mount things on it I you need.
