Title: First 60 miles with the new riser
Review: Installed my new Budman riser on my 2012 VROD Muscle this last weekend. Great looking product and well thought out. The extra mounting bolts in the kit are a nice touch and I did use them as one of the original had some corrosion that was suspect.
The steering was much easier and the riding position was comfortable. I'm 5'10", 230lbs with a 30" inseam and riser fits me just right. Even my son-n-law liked it as he is 6'3" with a 34" inseam. Well worth the price.

Title: High Quality
Review: 6'3" My install took longer. Had to reroute electric, reroute and bleed clutch and front brake, but thats not the fault of this riser. Fit and finish are excellent, directions spot on. Looks great, bike rides so much better. A must have. Highly recommend.

Title: Excellent Product
Review: Purchased the Budman riser kit for my 09 Muscle on a Sunday, kit arrived Tuesday and was installed Wednesday. High quality riser, all necessary components and instructions included. Installed it by myself, took about 1.5 hrs and what a difference it made. To the untrained Muscle eye it looks like its OEM Harley equipment. Seating position is much more comfortable and handles even better. A+ product every Muscle owner should get.

Title: Works great! High quality!
Review*: I’m 5’8” and have a 29 inch inseam. This riser made it much easier & more comfortable to ride my V-Rod. I can’t believe the difference! Installation instructions were detailed and easy to follow. The pictures really helped. The quality of the riser is excellent along with all the hardware. I highly recommend this product to anyone who is looking for an easier reach on their V-Rod.

Title: Impressive
Review*: My arm length is 36 inches for long sleeve shirts im 6ft one. After an hour I want off the bike. Thought about selling the bike. So i took a chance and WOW! Im impressed and that takes a lot to do. The new position of the handle bars looks normal and where they should of been in the first place. Just do it and you won't regret it.

Review*: As someone who rarely gives feedback let alone reviews I felt compelled to write this, being a maturing rider with two collapsed discs my V Rod Muscle (my dream bike) had become a chore to ride over one hour, with the prospect of spending 2K AUD on a custom bar and riser set up I decided to take a chance on the Budman Riser from many internet reviews. All I'll say as a VRSCF fan and trade qualified metal fabricator is anyone who finds the factory position trying on the body should as a must get this riser.

Review: A must-do mod for all V-rod Muscle owners.
Words will not do justice on how Budman Riser elevates the riding comfort levels compared to the stock position.
Excellent delivery service an added bonus too!

Review*: After owning my Muscle for 3+ years and trying a one inch riser/Bob Drone fairing, I was ready to trade her in because my back was killing me even after short rides. I was skeptical on the Budman Riser and didn't think I needed the pullback because I'm 6'2". I'm a believer now! No pain and the bike is easier to handle. Fantastic product.

Title: Looks like original part.
Review*: When I tried the V-Rod the riding position was not comfortable for me so I checked if there is a raiser for it... luckily the Budman raiser provides what I needed. I could still use 1 more inch though... but it is great already. The bike with the stock handlebar could not be an option for me. Thanks!!!

Title: Your product saved the Day!
Review*: After a test ride and a longer contemplation due to the handlebar position I Purchased a new 2016 V-rod Muscle. I loved the bike so much I thought I could adapt and get used to the handlebar position but it only got worse for my back and neck. I considered converting to mid controls but liked the forward position.what to do since I rode the bike less and less! In search of a solution I found your web site and ordered the riser and windshield kit. Easy install and OH MAN what a difference! Saved the day! My Compliments and Thanks!

Title: A must have
Review*: Bought the riser kit about 3 weeks ago. It's flawless. A must have. It really does bring back the handlebar and still maintains the stock & aggressive look the V-Rod has. It helps with comfort and handling. Everything you need comes with the kit. Easy enough to install. It's even easier if someone assists you. For me the kit is a life saver. I definitely recommend it. Thanks.

Title: One Happy VROD Owner! No more neck pains.
Review: My riser kit came just in time for me to install before riding in Rolling Thunder 2016 that Sunday. The installation was very easy and the directions were straight forward. Couple of pains I was having while riding my 2014 V-Rod Muscle was the ache in the back of my neck and sometimes my hands while riding. The ride to DC with Rolling Thunder with my daughter on the back and the ride coming home from the 9 hour event, felt Great! The height of the riser and the position is perfect. With that said the bike looks Awesome!

Title: Awesome, Nothing Better
Review*: First, let me say I'm 6' 1'' tall and prior to installing the budman I would not! recommend anyone less than 6' buy this bike. The lean is a lot even for me. A 2 hour ride at one time was about max. Installing this made a full day ride easy. I'm extremely happy. If you only make one improvement to your v rod, this should be it!

Title: Excellent product
Review: This riser kit was recommended to me by Rich, owner of Bitchin Seat Company, at some point as he was making me a custom seat for my bike. So, I got the kit and I love it. It is very nicely made and does the job well. Most people don't even notice it. Not overly wild about the windshield kit, but it is essential if you want to use this system and have a windshield, and it does not detract too much from the overall look of the bike. Overall, very happy with this purchase and would highly recommend.

Title: Saved my Riding!
Review*: After a couple back surgeries over the years, one of them about 2 years ago, I thought for sure I'd have to sell my "F". But after reading about the Budman Riser on the V-Rod Forum, I decided to give it a shot. It changed my posture to allow me to continue riding with no pain, and forget about selling my bike. I would DEFINITELY recommend this riser to anybody who may be in a similar situation!

Alaska; 2014 Vrod Muscle
Review*: Very happy with it. Looks great & professional. Only a Vrod owner would notice it is an add on. I mounted on the forks first, it would be way harder re routing the wiring mounting to the bars first. Only took about an hour including time for drinking a couple of beers.

Wow what else can I say? I know... my dream bike for the last few years was a Vrod Muscle but me being 5'6 made it such a stretch to the bars it kinda put the bike out of reach for me, no pun intended :o) So I rode a Triumph rocket, a Victory Jackpot but nothing was as special as the Vrod. Not to sound too corny but the Budman riser has made my dream come true and I have a Vrod Muscle. Thanks for the prompt dispatch and tracking to Oz and for a great product :o)

Review*: Bought a vrod Muscle, which had Budman riser already but I wasn't aware. I couldn't believe how comfortable it was. Most comfortable HD I've owned and I've owned many. Then as I read the 1130cc forum I realized it was the Budman!

Title: Must Have Mod for Comfort
Review*: I installed the Budman Riser and went from being "stretched out" and uncomfortable with back and elbow pain after long rides to a more upright and comfortable riding position immediately. The riser matches the stock bars finish perfectly and doesn't look like an add on item. Before purchasing I had several questions which Tryon answered immediately. Great product, fast shipping and great customer service. Thanks Danny and Tryon
