The adapter from J&P Cycle is a rod about 3 3/4 inch long, with 1/2 thread on the riser end that screws all the way into the Risers. The area in the triple tree is 12 mm, a snug fit without any threads on it, and the bottom 1/2 that sticks out is threaded to use the same nuts and washers off the stock risers. We can't tell any disearnable difference, there is no play other than the rubber bushing. The part number is ZZ50385, specifically for a Honda.

They weren't cheap, near $30,...

Bob, I did feel a little extra movement when I installed mine, but no more than on a HD Deuce or when using longer/taller handlebars. This is caused by the grips being further back and therefore creating more travel at the grip, not because they are loose or weak. It does take a bit of getting used to at 1st, but have not had any issues with them yet. I installed the rubber washers from the start and do not know if this helps stiffen or not. I did it for cosmetic reasons only.

I...

Tell me, you didn't feel to much movement of the handlebars.I use the 12mm bolts and it felt like it could snap off if I had to stop fast.Maybe I'm just a scared boy

I used the same risers, but tried the 10 mm kawasaki bolts the first time, and even with shimming them had way too much play in the handle bars.
I then ordered the correct Honda (12mm) adapters from J&P Cycle and it made a world of difference. I will add the rubber washers when I get a chance. Those may stiffen them up a little more, but it's not really necessary now.

Hey everyone I did the 6" risers.They felt great and everything went together just right.The only problem to me was since the risers are rubber mounted in the first place these extra long risers amplfied the movement and to me felt unsafe.If anyone would like to try it on there own I'd like to get some money out of these risers.I did all the leg work for getting the correct bolts and they are the same risers shown in the forum (riser project).Happy Safe riding southside bob

Yes they are, Bob. There is a boss on the bottom of the risers that protrudes about 1/4". Some people just shave that off so that the bottom is flat. I did'nt want to do this to them so I split a old shock rubber in half with my band saw, and then used a vise and a section of 3/4" EMT conduit to press out a larger center hole so that it would fit over the boss. You don't really have to do this, but I thought it looked better. If you don't have a shock mount rubber handy, you can buy...

They are 1/2" std course thread in grade 8 hardness. I bought 4 1/2" length and only about 1.5" was threaded on one end. The machinist cut the heads off flush, put a row of 1/2" nuts on the pre-threaded part to protect the threads, then proceded to turn the smooth portion of the remaider of the bolts down to 7/16' diam., and then cut 7/16" std course threads on the oposite end for about 2" . They worked great.

Now, as far as the Kawasaki pre-made bolts...

Hey Stan teh risers look great. I will have to consider doing something like that. I went for my first ride on my new to me T and I loved it. I did have to stretch some to reach the bars. I am getting it lowered tomorrow and wnat a new seat and then probably will do the risers. Trying to prioritize since I did not win the lottery this week. Thanks for the info and I might be asking you more questions in teh future.

Lou, as promised here is the source I bought my risers from. They are buy it now for $45 but he sometimes will do a starting bid at $39 and you may win them at that price. Also, about 2 posts up from this one are the the sources for the ready made bolts. Good luck on your project also.

The HD Deuce risers are chromed billet alum and bring the bars back and up about 2 inches over stocks. I was able to use my factory cables but they had to be re-routed to gain extra length. These provided the extra comfort I needed to accomodate my short arms. I took a 70 mile ride today and man what a difference. I can actually lean against my backrest now and still have both hands on the bars. ">
