I had the Baron's kickback risers on my R*. One of the best investment I made. The bar was solid; no more movement than with the stock mounts. They are now for sale and in great condition...check the classifieds section on this forum.

Then why are they for sale?

coma44,

Does you bars still feel solid? I have heard some past comments they don't feel as tight and or come loose.


There is a small amount more movement at the bars(because of the longer length and the fact that the bolts go through the stock rubber mounts)They do shake a little more than with the stock risers, but only at an idle. I have put about 140000 miles on since i put the risers on and nothing has loosened up yet. I did not see any difference except the comfort level was way better than the stock height ones.

I put the pro one risers on with the tach kit. Works great! Quality was outstanding and did not have any cable issues.

I put on the Pro One 4" risers. Made a world of difference when rising long distance and they look great!
