Well, the " how it's done " is never more important than the " how it works ". Would have done the same thing if a mechanic was standing there with a wrench in one hand and my part in the other. That's a no brainer. I'm pondering the adjustment changes you've given here and trying to envision them with my currant seating position. It looks good to me in my minds eye. The 1" up would be a definite help already. Saw a picture of myself riding away from a ol' friends house that she posted on Facebook. Gave me a good view of my seating posture and it's confirmed that a bit " up " and a bit " back " would look and feel more comfortable. You have inspired me.
Just beware of a couple of things. There is a cover that you may not even know is there that will not fit once they are installed. This is a plastic cover over the top of the forks. I am not sure what purpose it serves and I did not know it was even there (or not there) until I saw the part in the trunk when I got home.
The other thing is, the throttle cables are pulled to their absolute limit. They are too short to run along the handlebar now and intead make a straight shot from the throttle down to where they are clamped off to the forks. They rub the fairing unless you do something. I took a piece of velcro and pulled them just enough where they do no rub.
This week I am going to see if there is any way to trace them down to the engine and see if there is any slack that I can pull from them. They are ok as long as they don't rub but had I known, I would have tried one of the lesser settings when they installed them. There are five options you can set these risers to. I chose the max settings and did a test fit before they tightened everything down but did not notice the cables till after the fact.
Knowing what I know now, I would probably go with a different brand riser. I saw one the other day and don't remember the brand but it raised the bars up about 1.5" and towards the rider about 2" but it did not move the bars in toward the bike like these did. I had no problem with the width of the bars and even though it is only an inch, it is very noticeable.
