Gen 3 Bar Risers

Only Tip I can give is to take pictures of it after you're done....looks to be a great mod.

Yes, disconnect any brackets or tiedowns on the hydraulic lines, clutch and brake. Unhook or disconnect any attachment for the electrical connections including the ignition switch the clutch switch and the brake switches, and when you're done make sure that you have enough slack on both sides connections, electrical and hydraulic, so you can rotate the controls all the way to the left and all the way to the right.

Do not disconnect either clutch or break hydraulic lines unless you're going to replace them. Just their hold down brackets.

Post pictures, and commentary when you're done.

Looks like an old Genmar riser. Search the forum for that.

Go slow.
Take your time and don't rush.
Lots towels and rags to cover stuff.
Try for a breaker bar

You're kinda in uncharted waters

I somehow feel your more likely to take the advice this time tho

[ArabianOak]

The bolts have thread lock...just an FYI...I will wait to have the dealer install on the first service...lol. Don't want to screw anything up.

You can do this, it helps with a rear stand. Do you have one of those?.

You can do this, take your time.

No joke the bolts are literally glued in...i used a breaker bar but am nervous about scratching a fairing even with towels.

the top would be MUCH easier...you get these out from the bottom...brutal and frustrating...

[Spudley]

No worries. Understood. I just got mine home I'll be giving that a look.
