Guest JMAC71 Posted May 27, 2008 Share #1 Posted May 27, 2008 Has anybody had any experience putting some brand of pull backs for the handlebars on a 2006 RSTD? I would like to bring my handlebars back just a tad to keep from having to stretch my arms out. Not bad, but a lil uncomfortable. Just was wanting some reccommadations from anybody who has done something similiar. Thanks, Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrcain32 Posted May 28, 2008 Share #3 Posted May 28, 2008 I've done it on my RSV:cool10:. I'm not sure it is the same for RSTD. I have Baron 1 1/2" risers as do some others. With these you do not have to change your cables. :confused24:I'm not sure they work on the RSTD thou.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RSTDRIDER Posted June 16, 2008 Share #8 Posted June 16, 2008 How did it turn out? I would like to do the same...an inch or two is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilot Posted June 16, 2008 Share #9 Posted June 16, 2008 I'm installing Baron 1 1/2" risers on my RSV when they get here, I would think that will fit the TD it's the same bike without all the extras but you might want to call and check with them before ordering. If your in a hurry then don't order from Barons I have been waiting for them to ship mine for 5 days nows. They are not very fast although they are fast in charging your card account and their shipping is well lets say they are taking lessons from some EBay sellers....

pegscraper Posted June 16, 2008 Share #11 Posted June 16, 2008 I've heard that the reason that risers won't work on the RSTD is because of the speedo mounting arrangement. You might give the Flanders handlebars a try though. They give a little more pullback while mounting in your stock risers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ixolibsky Posted June 16, 2008 Share #12 Posted June 16, 2008 I purchased a set from GenMar MFG several years ago for my RSV. They will also fit the RSTD. Bought them through cruiser customizing. Barons carries the exact same thing. I did not have to change out cables. I think they run aobut $65. hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigShell Posted June 17, 2008 Share #13 Posted June 17, 2008 They are not very fast although they are fast in charging your card account and their shipping is well lets say they are taking lessons from some EBay sellers.... Ain't that the truth! When I took my risers off to put on the RSTD bars, a couple of the bolts seemed to have a little wobble.. like they were slightly bent. I've been thinking about putting the risers under the RSTD bars just to see what that felt like. Not sure the cables will reach. Anyway, I wanted to replace those bolts first. I called Barons to see if I could order some. No problem! They would send me a couple no charge, just pay the shipping. Great! Until I saw the invoice. $13 and some change to ship the two bolts! Learned my lesson! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christo Posted June 17, 2008 Share #15 Posted June 17, 2008 I installed the Baron risers - love them. Did not have to replace any cables or change anything on the RSV. Only issue with the risers is that the bars at the tree will touch the plastic gas tank cowling where the ignition switch is. But it is minor - it really only affects this when you are pushing the bike around - not affected during riding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chachi Posted June 19, 2008 Share #16 Posted June 19, 2008 You cannot use risers on the late model RSTD's....due to the speedo configuration. I purchased a set of Flanders Bars and they work perfect. You'l have to replace the brake cable and clutch cable. I had my dealer do it when I purchased the bike this year and they work great.

Grey Ghost Posted June 9, 2009 Share #19 Posted June 9, 2009 Chaci is right. I know that the Baron 1 1/2" risers will not fit on 06 RSTD because I bought a set and tried it. Ended up selling them to a Venture rider. Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eazyduzzit Posted June 9, 2009 Share #20 Posted June 9, 2009 You can't use risers on the RSTD. It isn't the same as the RSV. The Flanders part #650-08783 replacement bars is the only option I found. I did not have to replace any cables or lines, I just re-routed them a little. It's pretty simple to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonto01 Posted June 10, 2009 Share #21 Posted June 10, 2009 I have a 07 Venture and I was wanting to put some risers on it. It just seems like you have to reach to the bars. Are the ones you are talking about 1 inch up and 1/2 out. I dont want to change out my cables but I would like to have them back to me a little. Also does anyone have the part # for the Borons. Thanks Tonto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renne Posted June 10, 2009 Share #22 Posted June 10, 2009 I took a set of stock risers (left overs),,,cut the studs off flush and had them machined to fit the radius of the lower half of the existing riser, bought longer screws( 1 inch) and installed, gained 1 in. Feels good and cheap! Renne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadhand Posted June 10, 2009 Share #23 Posted June 10, 2009 I place Barons risers on my RSMV. Nice change. I ran with this setup for a year or so. If on a budget and want the bars back, not a bad way to go. Only issue I had was the hard rubber slots under the fairing was not resting on the bars as they are designed to. I then put RTD stock bars on. Great way to go as far as I am concerned. Wider, bars come back to me. They should put this setup on as stock as it makes all the difference. Only issue with this is the 12V plug on the left side in not usable as the bars cover this area. No problem, I placed an outlet on the left side under the seat.

It's pretty simple to do. i went with this on my rstd and love it. i did opt for new braided stainless lines that were longer. i'm 5'8" and the dull nagging pain in my back is gone. love it!!!! skip all the riser info, the speedo will not allow for it. just call flanders and put the order in or go have someone custom make longer bars. enjoy the ride!

Staryder Posted June 14, 2009 Share #25 Posted June 14, 2009 I had to move the bars to omuch shoulder pain a friend gave me a pair of stock riser's off a 01 Roadstar I put them on took the mounting braket of f the botom of the speedo the front bolt still fit on the chrome cover had to buy a couple large washers to go under the riser's then I used plastic cable ties under the speedo to reattach to the handle bar it tips the speedo up slightly works well for me and cost was just the washer's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
