    King I used the Baron's DT riser which said would work with-out changing the cables. I re-routed the cables but still came about 1/2" short on the front brake line. I've read where some get by without changing and some don't!! I wasn't hard to change the brake line and was well worth it for the comfort!! I'm so comfortable now that I sometimes get sleepy riding!!

    the only thing i had to do was reroute the cablr that runs down the left side of the engine.

    I got some from this company: zianet.com/genmar/

    Inexpensive, brings the bars up and back enough for me, and no problem with existing cables.

    I purchased Yamaha. . . .Part# Y122 = $89.95 for my 2003 Classic. Looks like the Y125 is for 2005 and up. Here's a pic, hopefully! Click on the thumbnail, it should make it bigger.

    rajmo the risers that TES has doesn't look like they have as much pull-back as the baron's. I think the pull back helped me more than the rise. I have short arms!! It may not be a problem for you.

    The Genmar risers work just fine for me. They give about 1" rise, and about 1" pullback. I think they're comfortable, but the Baron's will definitely give you more pull back. If I knew I wouldn't have to change cables, I'd probably go with the Baron's.

    your bike looks great with those risers,some say they had to pull the cables out ,others say they dident have too,maybe a new thred wouls resolve this.
