    I am planning to get risers for my meanie to help reduce the stretch with the bars on my bike as I have slightly shorter than average arms. The ones I am looking at should move the bars back about 1.5 inches and up about the same roughly. This will be my next mod to the bike.

    I suspect the answer to your questions regarding re-routing of cables will depend on how much rise and/or pull back you get from the actual risers. Bikes with non T-bar dragster style bars such as pull-backs could fit a whole range of sizes. Some people re-route taking a different path (eg under triple trees etc) if there is enough reach. Others need to replace the cables. A good time to consider braided cable for better looks? In my case I am a bit limited as my risers will need to be fitted onto the bottom of my drag bars and the choice is more limited out there on the oem market.

    I suggest you participate on a Suzuki cruiser forum site (most likely USA) and seek recommendations or discussion there and I am sure you will get some good feedback.

    Are you taking any prescription medication? [Rain Man]

    I have a c90 and got someone to make up two spaces for me out of alli about two inches and the same diameter as my existing raisers bought new longer bolts and have raisers that cost me nothing. Engineering shop will charge you

    You guys have gotta be kidding right, risers on cruisers (HTFU) try riding a sportsbike sometime (and I'm an old bugger)
