| | Posted : 25 Oct 2015 - 00:40 Post title : V-Twin Manufacturing Curved Handlebar Risers on my T-Bird 1600 (non ABS). | | | I'm wanting to put a set of these V-Twin Manufacturing Curved Handlebar Risers on my T-Bird 1600 (non ABS).
They have a Pullback of 2" & a Rise of 5" and are for 1" handlebars.
The problem is they use a 1/2"-13 thread bolt.
I want to do is use my existing factory rubber mounts from the original risers.
To do this would I need a speciality bolts with M10 non threaded on end and 1/2" 13 threaded the other end to go into the riser.
It would need to be about 90mm long i think??
Has anyone used original rubber mounts with these HD risers, and how did you go about it??
Would I also need to get a longer front brake line?
Where can I buy these bolts and longer brake line ??
Any info would be greatly appreciated...........

Something like this 
I would go and get a couple of Grade 8 1/2' bolts with at least 60 mm of unthreaded shaft and take them to a machine shop to get these made
The dimension "x" will depend on the depth of thread in the new risers. The 1/2" thread can't protrude out of the risers or it will interfere with the rubber mounts. I would also use Loctite in the risers and Nyloc M10 nuts
Not sure about the brake lines, you might get away with the std ones. I know Easyrider (Ray) fitted some new lines to his recently he might be able to point you in the right direction if you find you need them.
Hope this helps

(Re: Borris40) | | | If you search this site for handlebars and/or risers you'll find all sorts of info. (Just limit search to 2 years at a time to prevent search from timing out.)
Most risers like those will interfere with raising the tank more than a few inches. Few fit the tripleclamps well, and none will allow using stock rubber mounts.
I had a set of Deuce risers for a time, made bronze spacers to replace rubber, but eventually went to a set of Flanders bars on stock risers to get more rise and pullback.
