Triumph Trophy Handlebar Risers

I was searching for something and ran across an ad for some handlebar risers for the Trophy. Since I had done this job I was curious about the product and read the ad.

First off the $139.95 (plus $5.95 shipping) seemed to be really pricey. Considering that I had raised mine by merely sticking a 1" spacer under each bolt and using longer bolts. I happened to have the spacers and bolts on hand but even if you didn't the cost at a local hardware store would be $20 or so.

The reason I haven't posted about doing my risers was because the wiring harnesses are pretty short. I raised my bars 1" and the wiring harness on the left side was stretched really tight. Enough so that turning to the full right position was initially impossible. With a little tugging and stretching I finally decided it would work okay.

So I was curious about these risers. I thought perhaps they were shorter and wouldn't pull the cables. Not so, they are 1" and the ad says; "does not require cable or wire extensions".

Nice looking risers but since you can't see the spacers I used, this looks like overkill to me.
