Look in the left Column under Honda VTX1800 all and click the box if you want to get additional details, price etc.

Put these on today. Got them from Coyote a regular on the chat boards. He wanted the chrome Rivco Risers instead of polished Aluminum with a slight seam between OEM risers and the GenMars.

Looking forward to those long rides and not having to lean over as much, thus making it easier on my shoulders, back and less crink in my neck.

No mods were needed to my cables/wiring. :)

That's the only negative, I can think of regarding the C model. They need longer/higher risers, like the Retro, the N and the New F models.

Has taken me 2 years before I made the modification. Just thought I could muscle through and/or get use to leaning a little forward while riding.

On longer trips, however, I began to notice, wrist, tennis elbow (I've played tennis for 40 years) and neck/back crimp.

Thus, I started looking at Risers, Rivcos and Aeromachs. The extension new at $89.95 plus shipping just seemed to high. But it is still a savings of like $40 over the other Risers.

Than one day, I saw a post from Coyote, who went to Chrome Rivco's after having the GenMar Extensions. We PMd back and forth. He made me a deal I couldn't refuse on his Semi new GenMar's.

Coyote liked everything about the GenMars he just didn't like the look as much as the full one piece chromed Risers.

Just riding around yesterday (yup another nice day in Tooele :) ), I sure noticed a difference. Looking forward to the first long ride. Probably be the Polar Bear, but really, that isn't that long of a ride.
