INSTALLATION
NOTE
The following procedure is based upon a typical handlebar riser assembly. The handlebar riser assembly for your model motorcycle may vary slightly from the illustration and procedure provided in this instruction sheet.
  1. See Figure 1. Remove the four socket head screws (A, B) fastening the handlebar upper clamp (C) to the handlebar riser clamps (13, 14). Lift the handlebar (4) from the riser clamps and carefully rest the handlebar in front of the risers.
  2. NOTE
    Note the locations of spacers that may be used between handlebar risers and the handlebar upper clamp on early 1991 and earlier vehicles. Install these spacers in their original locations.
  3. Remove the riser bolts (G) fastening the risers to the triple tree upper bracket.
  4. Remove the risers from the triple tree upper bracket.
  5. Replace the stock upper cup washers with the new chrome cup washers (1).
  6. Assemble the handlebar riser assembly in reverse order of disassembly. Apply Loctite® 242 (blue) to the riser bolt threads and torque riser bolts (G) to:
  • XL: 34–41 N·m (25–30 ft-lbs)
  • Dyna and FXR: 41–54 N·m (30–40 ft-lbs)
  • Softails: 34–47 N·m (25–35 ft-lbs)
  1. Tighten the two rear socket head screws (A) until the handlebar upper clamp contacts the risers. Do not tighten the screws completely.
  • Torque the front screws (B) to 16–20 N·m (12–15 ft-lbs)
  • Torque the rear screws (A) to 16–20 N·m (12–15 ft-lbs)
NOTE
When installation is complete, the upper and lower clamp back edges must touch and show a slight gap between the front edges.
