    I'm using Rocky's

    I'm using Rocky's Risers.
    I'm 220, 5-10 and also had discomfort with stock setup.
    Ergonomically, I found that with Rocky's, after adjustments I have almost a 90 degree elbow angle which I find very comfortable on long rides. I did notice however that when riding "the Dragon" I had the bars set a bit too close and too narrow. For pushing the bars in aggressive turns I would have liked to get them a bit wider and just a bit further forward.
    I also have a rider's back rest so that will push me forward or back to hold the comfortable elbow angle as I get tired.
    Now, this is the best part of Rocky's, They are adjustable... narrow to wide which also brings them forward or back. So since I do mostly longer rides and relatively few aggressive runs I'm unsure at this point if I will slightly adjust my bars. But it's nice to know I can.

    I had the same neck/shoulder pain so I installed the Kury risers. Was comfortable around town but on a long ride the pain moved to my tailbone. I removed the up/back blocks and installed just the up wedge spacers. So far so good but I haven't gone out of town again yet.

    I bought the MBL's that move closer on ebay for $40 used - put them on, and took em back off - didn't like them, though they did move in, up and back.
    Just wasn't for me.
    Maybe someday a set of Rocky's - but can't afford right now.
    If anyone wants to try the MBL's shoot me a text, I'll sell em for the same 40 that I bought them for - if not, I'll just keep em with the other stuff I've accumulated for now.

    Where does someone get the Rocky Risers from? How much are they and it there a pic of them? Can anyone install the risers or does it need to be done by a Tech at Honda Stealership?

    You get the Risers from me via a PM with your contact info.
    The kit is $105 shipped USPS priority mail w/tracking number.

    The kit comes with instructions. they are bolt on, no modifications needed if you can handle small tools?.

    I can send you a PDF file of the instructions to see if this is a task you are willing to try?.

    Here is what the comfort risers will do that no other risers can.

    This is what you get in the kit.

    If you're referring to the plastic dust cover you can either leave it off or cut it to fit. It's more cosmetic than anything else. I left it off when I installed my MBL risers and when I decided to get Helibars installed the cover went back on. Kind of glad I didn't cut it up.
