Handlebar Risers for Motorcycle Install

[@SLIGHT_]

You got it done!!! Well done Elyssa. Glad you like it. Also yes your line is stretched. In most cases it will be fine as it does work. Yet it will breakdown in time. Just keep an eye on that line if you’re not doing anything with it.

[@LyssaWithAnE]

Thank you! Finally was able to do it!😁 and thanks for the tip about my brake line, I’ll definitely keep an eye on it and replace it for a longer one if any problems come up, but so far, it’s still good!🙌😁

[@tonimusgrave9530]

Just ordered these and I’m going to try to put them on myself. Good instructional video.

[@Metricamn]

You are a true biker and doing your own modes too ....quite impressive ~!

[@upindersingh5958]

Great job. I am installing one this weekend on my trident 660. Hope the hoses and wires don't become too tight.

❤️Happy to see you again🌞 Love and greetings from Baku Azerbaijan🇦🇿

[@LyssaWithAnE]

Thank you, I’m happy to be back! Aloha from California!😁

[@WilliamValencia-c9b]

Thank you for your video it give me the knowledge I needed to put risers on my rebel

[@LacrimaeTenebrarum]

Great video! Quick question: did you use any loctite for the bolts? I have installed also on my Rebel but did not put any loctite or anything. Since I’m kind of new, I’m asking you for advice! Thank you and keep up the good work 👍

[@bullrun44]

You looked great before and after the install....❤❤❤

[@kmozelimoralez]

i like it, i ll get 1 for mine, looks prety cool

[@LyssaWithAnE]

I highly recommend it! My lower back would start to hurt after long rides, but now, it doesn’t give me any problems!😁

[@LucianaSouzaFelipe]

Hellooo, I just subscribed to your channel, and I am finding your videos very helpful. I owe a rebel as well and I like to do things on my own way. Would you be able to record a video flushing the coolant and showing how much coolant i should add? Thank you ! ! !

[@themotorcyclemaiden9162]

Hey hon how you doing. Could you do a follow up video or follow up comment on after you ride your bike with the risers and let me know how sturdy and if you feel that everything has held? The reason I’m asking that is because I just had my daughter install the same risers on my bike and my risers did not come with that clear plastic that you were showing. I took off Friday for a quick ride to get familiar with my new bike and the handlebars turned down and I went down. My bike is currently under construction. But I think that maybe I was missing that clear plastic? And therefore causing the handlebars to roll down on me while in motion.

[@LyssaWithAnE]

I am so sorry to hear that about your going down… I just did a ride yesterday testing out the new risers, and it worked perfectly fine, I had no troubles! I even stood up on my bike a few times during the ride to test if it was sturdy, and it was. No wiggle or anything, and the handlebars are positioned just the same as when I did the install, so no movement at all. The clear plastic pieces that came in the packaging with the screws really did help out, serving as a spacer. Because when I dri-fitted the handlebars at first, I know I noticed some movement in the handlebars still, so that’s what you might need to add for those risers… It’s weird that yours didn’t come with any…

[@themotorcyclemaiden9162]

@@LyssaWithAnE I’m still recovering from badly bruising and having a little bit of skin torn off but other than that I’m good. I saw another video from slight Moto and asked him if his risers which are the same ones that you installed, if he’s had those little plastic inserts and he said no. Needless to say I sent the risers back and I ordered a new set from Rivzilla, brand called Rizoma. I’m having a friend pull the dent out of the tank and repaint it.

[@themotorcyclemaiden9162]

@@LyssaWithAnE I do have one more question for you, did you torque everything down after you install the bars. I just bought myself a torque wrench so I’ll be ready when the new risers arrive.

[@LyssaWithAnE]

If I’m being completely honest, I did not… I should, but I don’t have a torque wrench yet… Everything that I’ve installed on the bike, has not been torqued down👀🤫😅

[@LyssaWithAnE]

Oh man I am so sorry you had to go through that! I hope the new ones are the perfect ones for your bike!

[@tubeee87]

Hi! I wish you placed the cam near it. it's hard to tell from side angle

[@RR-gl8kx]

Great! I noticed on your headlight cowl install, your motorcycle stand. Does it work well and do you like it? If so, what brand and model is it so hopefully I can check it out! Thank you! And how did the new seat install turnout, as far as comfort on longer rides? 👍

[@LyssaWithAnE]

Thanks! As far as the motorcycle stand, I got it from Harbor freight here in California for about 45 bucks, and it’s well worth it! Very easy and simple to use, I usually put my bike on the motorcycle stand when I’m not riding. And as for the new seat, I love it! With the stock seat, after an hour of riding, my butt would start hurting and my legs would start cramping up, but now I can go 4+ hours without that problem with a new seat!

[@RR-gl8kx]

@@LyssaWithAnE Thank you for such a nice detailed answer. Big fan...watch all your vids! Great Job...and the ice cream truck break on the crash bars ..was a Hoot!!

[@shutang6840]

nice video. May I ask for wire parts do we just need to unhook the break wire from the holder and the rubber band for gauge wires?

[@LyssaWithAnE]

Yup, that’s exactly the only things I did for the wires!

[@shutang6840]

@@LyssaWithAnE thank u !

[@danae5093]

Love this!! Do you think it would still be the same process for a 2018 rebel??

[@LyssaWithAnE]

I would imagine it would be, the models are pretty similar!😊 but if not, I’d love to know if you do do it!

[@ayrikwhyte6004]

Great video! I am a new Rebel 500 owner also in the Fairfield area! Do you ever do group rides? I cant find any forums for rebel owners in this area.

[@LyssaWithAnE]

I do! I usually do group rides infact! Are you on Facebook? There’s a Bay Rebel Riders you could join that I’m a part of! And a couple others

[@ayrikwhyte6004]

@@LyssaWithAnE Not big on Facebook but will definitely get on there to check out the Bay rebel riders group. Thanks!

How do you feel abou these now. Any vibration or adverse affects? Do you feel they will last

[@pedrothomas4944]

smart young lady good info

[@borntobethewildest]

How's is going on now after riding for awhile, any problems?

[@LyssaWithAnE]

So far so good! No problems at all! The brake line in still good, the handle bars don’t wiggle, and the pull back is noticeably more comfortable😁🙌

[@Metricamn]

What brand and type was your after market seat please ?

[@papicanplays]

Cool 😎

[@titosirj6262]

You mind me asking your inseam measurement? Reason I ask is I have short inseam and was thinking about getting a Rebel500 for myself too.

[@YammieRalph]

How tall are you? I’m 5’5 with a 29-30 inseam. Bike fits me like a glove, and have some knee bend when I’m flat footed at a stoplight.

[@titosirj6262]

@@YammieRalph my inseam is 28”. I used to ride a Yamaha V-Star 1100. It was great when it is running but feels very heavy when I’m maneuvering. It’s a effin beautiful bike though. The Rebel does not even come close. It’s the counterpart of the Fat Boy. My wife sold it when I went to the States. I might have to settle with a Rebel when I get home. Thanks for replying back.

[@LyssaWithAnE]

Thank you Rafael for sharing your perspective with him!

[@LyssaWithAnE]

And I’m not sure why my inseam is, but I am 5’1”, so pretty short, and I can still Comfortably flatfoot the bike!

[@shakilzubair5862]

do we need to change any cable of wire with extention?

[@LyssaWithAnE]

Not with this size riser that I used! But if anything bigger, then yes, you will need to extend some lines!😁

[@shamsulrazmi580]

Hi Elyssa, Sham here all the way from Malaysia. I can see U look more comfortable with that handle position. Btw may i know what is ur height?

[@LyssaWithAnE]

Nice! Thanks for watching all the way from Malaysia! It’s much more comfortable for me now, and I’m 5’! Or 1.52 meters👌

[@shamsulrazmi580]

@@LyssaWithAnE thx for feedback. I'm exploring to buy a midsize bike. Rebel 500 does got my attention. Haven't tried on one yet though 😁

[@LyssaWithAnE]

It’s one hell of a bike, I love how it’s easily customizable! But I definitely recommend try one out before you decide to buy it!

[@SoloBlack313]

niceeee! Thanks

[@LyssaWithAnE]

No, thank you!😂

[@aarantucker7109]

Wondered whether lock tight should be used on lifter bolts, just a thought. Can I ask where you got the risers from, i really want some for my rebel. Cheers

[@LyssaWithAnE]

That’s a really good thought. I wanted to dry fit the risers on there, to see how or if I’d like it. After the video and taking it on a few rides, I ended up loving it and actually did put lock tight on them!😁 And the link for the risers are in the description above! Took a few orders cause I actually got the wrong ones at first, but these are the right ones for the Rebel! Hope this helped!🙌

sorry to ask... but what is your height?
