BIG AL'S RISER INSTALLATION | 2020 LOW RIDER S

[@ryana981]

Nice install. Gotta love friends that like that. Make sure he’s taken care of too!

[@TryItWithTim]

Thank you! Indeed, you don’t come across many cool people who take care of you like that. It’s pretty cool how this platform can be used to link up with your local community and enthusiasts!

[@gbeatz408]

Doesn't bleeding the brakes from the calipers introduce air into the system? I have a 2022 LRS and that's the only thing preventing me from doing my own risers. I'm terrified to get air into the ABS.

[@nystar01]

Good stuff man! It’s fun to have a buddies that can help and work together on bikes. I gotta learn and do everything myself haha.

[@TryItWithTim]

haha yes im very lucky to have a buddy that knows our bike. My skills dont go past bolt on accessories lol

[@Sid6902]

Impressive! Nice 👍🏽 job. I did that smart siren it was a pain but easy enough. Downloaded service manual it was only $39. You might wanna do that so you get your torque specs rt specially on those riser bolts, I would look into some stronger riser bolts and polyurethane riser bushings. It will dampen any extra vibration from going a little taller there. Bike is looking sick Tim!

[@TryItWithTim]

Thanks brotha, now your motorcycle has some protection! Teamwork makes the dreamwork! Thanks for the tip, can you send me the link? It bothers me when I don't have my hardware spec'ed. I did actually go with stronger riser bolts and polyurethane riser bushings from Big Al's. It's riding so smooth and I'm loving the look. Thinking about removing the fairing completely and finishing off the headlight.

[@JR-eq3qh]

Hey man what length brake lines did u have to go with

[@paulson9616]

IDK, your bar seems to be sitting higher, and maybe it's the angle of the camera. I have 20 LRS and recently purchased a 10 inch pull back riser with a thrashin mid bend bar. Currently, I am sporting with a 14-inch dominator Tbar. Hope mine don't go up as I am seeing on your video.

[@TryItWithTim]

I think its a combo of the wide angle and at the time of this video I had them angled high. Ive adjusted the angle of the bars and its def an improvement.

How long was the install from start to finish? What all extensions did you need? Clutch cables? Brake lines? Im thinking of going the same route with my future build.

Little less than 3 hours and that’s because we kept the stock handlebars. In the beginning portion of video I show the receipt of all the wires I got. I will address this in the next riser review video and also post the parts in description.

[@tedschmidt1851]

Very Nice Install. I am looking to do the same on my bike but with the 6 inch riser. Were you able to run all the internal wires out the center slot of the handlebar without de-pinning the connectors? I am assuming those are 1 inch diameter handlebars.

[@tedschmidt1851]

What is that aluminum looking material between the riser and the handlebar. I that for additional grip? Are the handle bars knurled at the clamping area?

[@TryItWithTim]

Those are the polyurethane riser bushings you will definitely want to purchase for a smoother ride with less flex in the bars. The handlebars are stock and knurled as well as the clamps

[@chrisdawson8252]

Hey, I think it's just discoloration on the stock bars where the knurled clamping points are. There's no black powdercoat in those two spots. The bars are knurled. I am not sure if the riser clamps are knurled. Isn't really visible on the website images.

Hi Ian! For the wires they are from Guerilla Cables , I guess not all Harleys carry them. You should be able to tell them how high you are raising your bars and they could provide you will all the extensions. Have you solved this issue? If not, please message me on IG and I will send you a picture of all the parts, I saved the bags. As for the seat, it is the Harley Sundowner Seat and its awesome! My lady can ride all day on it.
