Default Tusk Handlebar Riser - Anybody tried this?

Tusk Handlebar Riser Kit 7/8" Bars Motorcycle.

I am tall and want the bars to reach up just a bit higher. Has anybody tried this? Do the cables reach? Anybody with a Bil Blue Carb try this, I have a 350 Kit and carb going on soon too.

Anybody try this and hate it? If so, do you want to sell your risers? If you have riser (7/8") to sell let me know.

Thanks

I have the Tusk bars with the 1" riser kit.... Love it.... im not very tall... 5'10" but i do a lot of standing so its way better than the stock ones.... makes me feel way more in control of the bike... Keeps my elbows up...

Hope it helps...

I run the 13t/47t and I run a 110 link chain.
It is pretty far back, but it still has another ~1/4" left to go for adjustments.
Hope that helps.

I love it. Top speed is about 60mph (indiciated) at about 7000 rpm which might mean it is actually going 50-55 mph. It does not seem to be going very fast. But it gets you from trail to trail just fine
