Gentlemen-
I'm a former H-D Road Glide rider and adore the new Honda F6B. The new windshield is en-route. (Thank you Phantom, for your suggestions!)

While trying to acquaint myself with the Honda F6B, I notice the stock handlebars seem to be too low, and too far back for my old body, which has been draped over various H-Ds, and an old Honda, for the last 100,000 miles. Is there a simple solution to raise the bars, and perhaps move them forward a bit? Even an inch would be an improvement. Thank you!

What is the difference between Rocky's risers and the Kuryakyn ones they sell... I think one is adjustable for width where the other is not. I am really only interested in the ones that raise the bars a little and maybe a little more toward the rider...Any opinions welcome....I am 5'9" and old!!

Another option,,,

Wife has MBL 'standard' on hers. Back, up, and in.
I have MBL 'wide' on mine, Back and up.
I like mine and she likes hers. :icon_biggrin:

Wingstuff, a forum sponsor, has the MBL as well. I believe they have free shipping through the 15th.

i went with the Rocky's because of the adjustability. i ended up with them adjusted wide open, really helped my back.

MBL & Kuryakyn are stationary risers. "Once installed-That's it" no other adjustment can be had unless you replace them with a different set.

My Comfort Risers are the ONLY brand out there that offer a Adjustment so you can move the bars in or out to make your shoulders more comfortable.
