Rivco Touring Risers on Rocket 3 Roadster

You should not have to remove the upper yoke tree.

Read all the threads you can starting with those below and follow links etc within to educate yourself and give various options of how to do things or what cables etc to order if required. There are always good but less 'correct' ways of doing things.

Also flipping the instruments to in front of the bars is very easy to do with the Roadster. Under the cap you can unbolt bracket and virtually turn it around a re-fit and slight bend of the bracket, it is that easy.

As stated you will need to unbolt your instruments on your Roadster and possibly loosen and rotate your bars forward to lift the tank every time you want access with the Touring version you have. Not a big problem but annoying if you are modding or playing around.

Those of us without risers on our Roadsters but with NZ Thunderbike bars fitted have to do that anyway.

Thanks for the info sir... I just don't have the means to bleed the brakes with the ABS currently, so was considering taking the top off the tree to just run the brake line behind instead of in front.

That may introduce clearance issues with raising your fuel tank.
I know it does with the Roadster - not so sure about the Touring.

More thread searching should convince you that you can bleed ABS Rockets at home. Some do it without any effect as long as they only bleed rather than remove and refit. The free Tune ECU software for mobiles/ laptops/pc and tablets is available with many member customised downloads on the forum here to suit various exhaust and intake setups. There are also servicing functions within TuneECU software that allow you to correctly bleed the ABS brakes after a hose refit.

@Son_Of_Dog has Rivco risers on his 08 Touring and no problems with the tank clearing.

Hey guys, bought some Rivco Risers on eBay second hand, only to find out they're the ones for the Touring... will they still fit my R3R?

If some are already using Thunderbird Triumph factory chrome accessory risers on their R3Tourings such as @Kevin frazier maybe the RIVCO option for Thunderbirds will suit R3Tourings as well now that the RIVCO Touring version TR3017 -TR is no longer available (note shares same part number as the very different R3 version TR3017 but the R3Touring only version has '-TR' added).
