Hey Couger
You can see my Aeromach risers up close at link below.
I rerouted lines behind trees, but did not undo the brake line.
As thebru said, just loosen or remove headlight bucket. Easier than bleeding brakes.

Cougar...I have been wanting my bars a bit up and back also but without the cost of new cables.

By the way your dual exhaust looks really nice. I might change my HK's out one day. What brand are they and how do they sound ?

I put the aeromach 4" up 2" back risers on with the star bars last year and didnt have to change any lines..I did re-route all the lines behind the trees instead of through them to relieve some tension, but they worked just fine.. I personally wouldnt move the levers to relieve tension because now you are starting to move them out of comfortable reach/pull, and I wouldnt go any further away than that riser/bar setup without changing your lines..also be cautious of your electrical lines brushing your tank..make sure you zip-tie them up so you dont scuff it up..I now have apes on the same risers in my sigpic but they are the same risers.

Thanks Raider all the info is helping me out ...Coug

I have the Baron DT pullbacks. 2" pullback with no rise. They look great and are VERY solid. I re-routed my lines to the front of the triple tree. I didn't want to mess with removing the brake line(or any of the lines) so I removed the wind shield and headlight bucket and slipped everything thru whole. Very easy and clean! I am now waiting for Bulldog Handlebars which are a bit wider and more pullback than stock so I will have to change the brake line when I install them. If your interested I can certainly post you a pic.

Always interested Bru ... thanks..Coug

Re:Risers 8 Months ago  
Cougar, I have never had a vibration problem with these risers(same as CoachDans).. they are great as far as Im concerned..they are the perfect amount of rise and pullback for me( 5'11" ) both when I had the starbars on, and now with the apes. I recommend them.

Re:Risers 8 Months ago  
hey Cougar ... I went with the Pro-One Handlebar Tach and Riser Kit 4" rise, 1-1/2 pullback. didn't have to change any cables. I was surprise how easy it was to install. The only glitch I had was to drill out the to bolt holes for the cable bracket. Needed to make it bigger to fit the collar of the bolts supplied. This kit made for a more comfortable ride and hey .... added more chrome.
