Folks, I emailed MC Larry to see why his risers weren't shown on his website. He emailed me back to tell me that they had been producing a new batch and that that was done. They're there again!
The install was a breeze. The brake hose clamp does not want to slide down the brake hose, so I just zip tied it to the wiring harness clump next to it.So do the 1.1" risers actually make a difference? Even though the install looks like a breeze, I'm concerned I'll mess up something - as soon as I think something will take only 20 minutes, it inevitably takes way more than that. Suvc04 -what was the issue with the brake hose clamp?
No, there is plenty of slack. The "hardest" part may be loosening your brake cable hose clamp to pull it up a little...the hose clamp is a little challenging to reach. Not everyone has to loosen the clamp so you may get lucky...so, no need for new cables ?
On the Twisted Throttle site they say that with the NT700V ABS that you have to move the front brake hose clamp down 1.5". Do you have the ABS model and did you have to move the hose clamp as they indicate ?MCL risers were the first thing I bought for my NT but I've switched to Twisted Throttle risers. Not only do they raise the bars 1" but also move them closer to me an inch without changing the cables. It makes for comfortable upright riding. I'm 5'9" and like long walks on the beach. . . no wait wrong forum. Another plus is that it does away with the cross bar that's from riser to riser so access to the ignition is easier.
