At 6'5" with a 32" inseam, I was unable to adequately control the bike while standing before I put the risers on. Now, it is much more comfortable, but I may add a bit more lift with taller bars in the future, we shall see.
I did learn a few lessons, though:
#1, the AltRider method/kit for adding the risers, for my bike, adds stress to the hard-line, which I really didn't like. Personal opinion, grain of salt, all of that. But keep an eye on how much stress is being put on those bits. The worst failure I can think of is a break line.
#2, the lines from Jaxon are fantastic. Fit and finish were great. He was also able to help me after #3:
#3, on my bike, the soft-line to hard-line connection was tight enough to strip the bolt, even using a flare nut wrench. The wrench was worth every penny, so go get one. Jaxon suggested using some heat to help everything expand before trying to get it loose, but it was too late for me, and I ended up replacing the entire line from master to slave with Jaxon's help.
#4, bleeding the brakes isn't so scary. The manual suggests getting a little dongle for testing the ABS, they don't make that anymore. Just go out and find a patch of sand and test the brakes at low speed. It's sketchy, but it's the way the techs at two local shops recommended.
#5, don't drop any bolts in the front of an S10. There is a black hole in there somewhere that sucks up nuts and bolts. Goodbye, bolt. It was nice knowing you.
Hope that's helpful,
