Part # 31040201
Handlebar Risers

The printed instructions look great, but they are a bit misleading. For instance, they should say You must disconnect the electrical wiring. Your instructions should say “Please see the associated video”.

After installing my foot peg lowering kit, I decided to install the handlebar risers kit. The video on Wunderlich website is awesome. I watched it twice before starting the install. I started with all the requisite tools named in the video before I started and put on a wire wheel on my buffer to remove paint from the handlebars where directed. I was very careful, and followed the video step by single step. Paying particularly close attention to the wires and switches. It took me exactly 3 hours and 30 minutes of that time was adjusting the bars and controls to my liking...I love the improvement! Only thing I was disappointed in was the amount of paint I removed from the handlebars. I did not take off all of the paint per instructions from video. But I took off about 1/16" too much paint so I had to touch it up or grind the bar shorter by the same amount. I just touched it up on the one bar. My advice is to put a piece of tape on the bar where you want to STOP removing paint. It's about 3/8" of an inch...go 1/2" if you want to play it safe. The quality of the parts is 100% outstanding with tight tolerances. My cables were all good after the install too. It was much easier than I thought it would be. Nice adjustability too. When torquing the bolts properly, I had to have someone else hold onto the bar and switches so they wouldn't move while putting the torque wrench to it. Without someone holding it, everything would twist about 1/4" when applying the torque wrench. I highly recommend these to anyone remotely interested in adjustability and comfort. Can you find some cheaper....? Maybe, but you will get what you pay for.

I was a little worried about doing the work myself, even though I had gone through MMI training for H-D. But I just played the video through each step and got the job done, only having to run to the store once to get a long T8 Torx driver :-) I haven’t gone on a very long ride yet, but I so wish I did this before I went on a 3,500 mile ride just weeks ago. They put your hands in such a more comfortable position and helps with handling, making for a more confident ride. Not sure what these MC companies are thinking making touring bikes with a sport riding position, but thank God for this company making such a product.
