I read that the small cover can be replaced by adding small tube type spacers and longer screws. When I read that, my mind immediately went to these new type stainless steel drinking straws you get from The dollar Store. They can be cut easily with a plumbers tube cutter at whatever length you need to make the spacers. It is my intention to add these riser to my 2003 wing. My first ride after purchase made me sore in the upper back and shoulders after only 100 klms. So once I get this done I’ll report back to you and your subscribers. Thanks for the video, most helpful.

Thanks for the comment. I’m not sure it would be advisable to put the cover back on because one of the things that happened when I put my risers on was the tops of the handlebars now rub the instrument cluster when I turn the handlebars all the way to one side or the other. (Obviously something I only do when walking the bike into a parking place or some maneuver like that). The cover would hit even more.

HOLY COW .........What a difference! Finally my shoulders are not so tight and I can enjoy the ride again. By the way I just took some black spray paint and and sprayed it into the lid and brushed the bolt heads with the black paint and it looks good. Thanks for your video, Mark

@@RighttothePointDIY - I had read somewhere that using both offset shims and the thinner shims stacked together was not recommended. I didn’t see an issue considering the mounting bolts seemed long enough to go through both shim sets completely and hold the handlebars securely. Let me know your thoughts there also or if you’ve experienced any issues with them loosening up. I have short arms and would like the additional length back and up towards me as well. “Thanks again.” 😉

@@notewriter910 I have not had any issues with them loosening up. I had to take the handle bars off for a repair on my steering shaft and they were all still very tight. That was about 8 months after installation.

Did you use thread locker at all? If so which level was useful. I did enjoy the video. I am glad someone had done one for this adapter.

@@goldwingconepatterns2565 Glad the video was helpful. No I didn’t use a thread locking application. It’s been a year and they have not loosened up at all.
