Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: Ensure your Harley Davidson FLD 1690 is a 2012 or 2013 model. The risers require 3-1/2" center-to-center riser spacing and are designed for standard 1" diameter handlebars. The upper clamp bolt spacing is 4-1/2" center-to-center. The base mounting holes are tapped for 1/2" x 13 bolts, which are *not included*.
Setup:
- Ensure you have the correct 1/2" x 13 mounting bolts (length will depend on your specific triple tree and desired tightness).
- Remove the existing handlebar clamps and handlebars.
- Position the new risers onto the mounting points, ensuring proper alignment.
- Secure the risers using the appropriate bolts (not included).
- Install the handlebar into the top clamps and tighten all hardware according to manufacturer torque specifications.
Care: Clean the risers with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the black finish. Periodically check all mounting bolts for tightness.
