I held the nut with a wrench a used a T-handle Allen wrench to remove the bolts. Hold the nuts, turn the bolt, EASY mod!

sweet thanks, going to see if trusty ace hardware has them.. trying to get my risers done today for my 2400 mile ride starting tomorrow.
I went to ace and pieced a kit together myself for 27 bucks and it raised it 3/4...I then ordered the 1 inch off ebay 4 just under 20 bucs 2 my door. I promptly switched the stuff out and got my money back from ace

For those who want to spend a little extra coin, this version from Soupys is a lot nicer looking, but still half the price of the Helibars. I also like how this design supports the entire handlebar "triple tree" instead of just at the bolt points.soupy's makes them

I used to have the more expensive GenMar riser of this same basic design. It was much more comfortable than stock, still good handling. The Helibars are definitely better, but I don't think I'd pay extra for them if cash were a problem. This type of riser is almost as good for comfort.
No, my 08 has .75" risers and heli-bars and it handles curves great. It's just as easy to steer or drag a knee as before, it's just more comfortable. That's just my opinion too, I'm considering the Speigler top clamp and dirtbike style bars.
Best bang for the money?Mine is an 02 the same for this modification especially as mentioned above?
My Dad made my risers on the lathe(otherwise they're around $20...the whole riser spacer shown above by Ajay is about $120), the heli-bars were $208. The gen1 and 2 are basically the same when it comes to this mod, even though the parts won't interchange.
The heli-bars not only make the bars a little higher and closer to you, but they have a different angle than stock. The outside ends of the heli-bars are higher up.
Personally I think it's a great improvement in comfort and well worth the money, but that's just me. There is now a much better riding position for me with less pressure on my wrists and lower back, as well as great handling.

The Soupy's risers I showed are $96. Soupy's also sells the spacer kit for $20, as someone else pointed out.My Dad made my risers on the lathe(otherwise they're around $20...the whole riser spacer shown above by Ajay is about $120), the heli-bars were $208.

And no disagreement that the Helibars are the best for comfort.
