I love my GenMar risers. I had the dealer install them while they were
repairing Jewel after the crash. They brought the bars back 1/2" and up
1-1/4". With the tall Triumph windshield I'd say the bike is best described
as "aggressive touring", not quite as sporty as "sport touring". I like it
... a lot! :-)
BTW, on my 2000 ST the clutch cable is long enough to leave it in the stock
position without any problem. Even at full left there is still a small
amount of play in the cable. Maybe Triumph is making them longer now?
