Appreciate your reply

I have the ones from EBay and am pretty happy with them. Definitely more comfortable for me. The components arrived with no instructions but were of a decent quality. The fit did not appear to be 100% fit around the bars but they are very secure.
Ideally I would like an approved part but for the price, the eBay ones are very good in my opinion.

I also purchased mine from eBay. As many have said, the actual radius of the area that is supposed to mate with the bars themselves is smaller than 1", such that the risers contact the bars effectively at four points (two per riser) as opposed to being a nice even fit. I ended up putting mine in a vice and milling them to fit a 1" OD pipe wrapped in sandpaper. It took about 30 min of time and sweat but it made them fit without that nasty gap.

Regarding the maximum usable extension. I do agree, it was too much to feel confortable with it (applicable to the 50 mm pullback from amazon/ebay) even after removing the tank and releasing some tension by cutting some zip ties.

Take a look at this post about new top lines - hope it helps!

Talked to my dealership today. Back ordered until late November. Nobody knows if you need longer hydraulic hoses(brake and clutch). It came as no surprise since they never had them, let alone installed any.
Tried to find that particular info but to no avail. I think new hoses are neccessary, in my not so humble opinion. Maybe somebody e

can enlighten me.

Hi Calboy,

Did you ever get your handlebar riser kit and do you know if the riser kit will fit a transcontinental.

Thx
Barry

Interested to know this as well.

I've always thought the TC couldn't accommodate the bar risers, but I see the "only" thing in the way is the "Front Panel Carrier", which I poorly colored in as green below. Red is the handlebar assembly itself. To give context, "Front Panel Carrier" sits several layers deep under the LCD display; think of it as the back plate.

Does anyone with a Bagger or Transcontinental have any pics of when they tore into their fairings? I'd be very curious to see how much of a gap exists between the carrier and handlebar assembly. I have no issues exploring this on my Alcina, but it's currently cold af where I'm at.
