Review on 🏍️ VTX13C017 Rivco Products Handlebar Risers by John Talcott

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Rivco and Cycle Stash = Winning Combo!

I'm a 50 year old man but an old fart. But I love to ride. I recently found a great deal on the vtx 1300c. After driving it home I realized that you need to change 4 things first. The exhaust was too quiet. Changed to Cobra Speedster Long Slashdowns. The footpegs were pathetic and my right leg was bent to the side because of the air filter. Replaced by floor panels. The seat became less comfortable after 15 minutes. My back ached and my mood was generally depressed. Changed to Ultimate X Mid with back. After all, it should have been the first. The steering wheel seemed very uncomfortable to me. I suffer from chronic low back pain. Longer than 5 minutes and a 1300c incline hurt me. Replaced with Rivco risers which I am considering. Not only did this immediately make the bike a lot more comfortable, it also changed the feel of the bike. Now I feel like I'm on a cruiser and not in a bar. I can really recline in the seat, I can slide my legs forward on the floorboards and I can sit more. It seems that the steering wheel is finally in place. Thank you Rivco for making such a great product. Thank you Cycle Stash for the fast shipping and thank you for keeping them in stock. I'll deal with you two again! The PS installation took 15-20 minutes. Simply unplug the plastic wire harness mounts from the top center of the handlebar, loosen the bolts under the risers holding the handlebar (a little brute force may be required). helped pry them out.) Make sure the tank is covered with a good thick blanket and you can cover the front fender too, trust me. Then simply install the extended risers and screw everything back together according to the instructions. Easy, Pizzy!
