Option # 2.

the honda shop had two 2012's one Black & one White, before my trade in 22,200.00 out the door. I got 7,100.00 for my 07 Venture. as a trade in.

nice bike

[Miles]

Hey, nice bike. Too bad about the rain you rode in...it looks like it washed all the paint off your new bike,. and left you with the primer. Now, a Black bike would not have that happen to it.

Geez, with all this Ribbing I'm getting, I would have gotten a side of coleslaw with the order:stickpoke:

[Eck]

Nice choice...and nice color. It matches my bushtec..

Between Muffinman and I, together we should be able to help you with most any questions on how to... feel free to ask anytime.

I have several tech articles, a shop manual and a bunch of CD's full of information.

I see that you've got it packed into the garage quite well, that way you won't have to move it around when you need something!!

 

 

Now it's easier to just walk out there and look at it!!

I have not found a way to raise them there is a aftermarket thing to spread them look a goldwing online.com for that item

YES...there are several adapters that can do this for you. If you go to... www.wingstuff.com ... and you do a search for handlebar risers, you will come up with 3 good ones, and 1 bad one. Ignore the one bad one. Here...I will do it for you.

 

http://wingstuff.com/shop/?keyword=handlebar+risers

 

Ignore item # 3. Bad...

 

I use item # 4, and have used the same ones on all of my 3 GL-1800's, and am using it on my new F6B.

 

A lot of riders like to use item # 1, or item # 2.

 

The major difference is that some of these will RAISE the aft end of your handlebars (the hand grip end), like Item # 4 does...and some of them will not only raise the handlbar, but will also bring the grip end of the bars IN...and...some will PULL the handlebar grip end BACK.

 

So, you can have the choice of raising the bar ends...bringing the bar ends IN a little closer, and/or pulling the handlebars BACK a little.

 

All of these 3 items that I mentioned are good. It depends on what YOU want your handlebars to be like when done. Personally, I have been satisfied with Ityem # 4. It is the most simple, as all it does is RAISE the bar end up about 3/4" to maybe 1".

 

The choice is yours.
