I'm new to the forum and the owner of a new '03 XX (one week). :bow: I'm quite interested in these bar risers, so I will be watching this thread closely for more information. I'm in the USA, so I hope that won't be an issue in obtaining a set when they are available.
Being a new owner, with only the owner's manual available (will be purchasing a shop manual), I wonder about the comment about removing the fork caps for the installation of the risers. On the XX, are the caps just covers or are they, like many bikes, actually holding the fork springs in place? If the latter, then what does one do when removing the caps to replace on top of the extenders to keep the springs from coming part way out? Or is that just part of the install? Also, if the latter, then are spacers required under the extenders so the fork springs stay in place?
Thanks. I'm enjoying reading the articles in this forum.
