Scootworks 7/8" Riser Adapter Installation Tips

These instructions are not all inclusive, there are simply too many accessories and variations in manufacture of motorcycles to cover every possible alternative. However, we've attempted to compile the most common issues and installation tips to assist in installation of the Scootworks 7/8" Riser Adapters.

Begin installation...

  • Remove the windshield from the bike (if used) to make installation somewhat more easy.

  • Cover the gas tank with a towel or soft cloth. You'll thank us later, as things DO slip and fall that can/will scratch your tank!

  • Loosen and remove the nuts on the bottom of the handlebar mounts. These are on the bottom side of the upper triple tree. Keep the nuts/washers, as they may be used during installation of your new risers.

  • Loosen and remove the 4 allen bolts in the tops of the factory riser caps. Hold the bars while doing this, as the bars usually rotate downward and can contact your fuel tank.

  • Lift the bars up and out of the lower mount, and allow the handlebars to move downward and rest on the cloth that covers your gas tank. Remove the lower mounts from your triple tree at this time.

  • Place the new riser into the triple tree, and tighten only hand tight at this time.

  • Place one of the semi-circular handlebar adapters into the lower section of the risers that are now installed on your triple tree. Place the handlebars into the adapter/lower mounts. Place another semi-circular adapter on top of each side of the handlbar, and install the upper handlebar caps. Make sure the semi-circular adapters do not protrude from the riser on either side, lift the bars to the desired position, and tighten the top caps. Tighten hand tight. Twist the bars left or right to position them straight (not twisted to one side or the other), then tighten the top caps to 10 ft./lbs (very hand tight). Tighten the nuts/bolts on the bottom of the risers at this time to approx. 15 ft./lbs.
