I should be getting my MCL risers today in the mail. Anyone coming that has risers? Are they hard to install and would anyone like to help me install?
Thanks, Bill

I'm not mechanically inclined but I found the risers relatively easy to install. I found the most difficult part was keeping the 14mm nut on the bottom of the riser (underneath the top of the fork crown still while lossening the 12mm hex nut on top of the riser. Make sure you have all the right tools and read the instructions carefully. It's easier if you have someone holding the bars in place.

Hi Bill,
It's not that difficult to install.
Unfortunately I don't have any major tools in Crestline....so someone else will need to chip in for this to happen.
OR....you might just want to do it yourself. It took me about 2 hours working really slow to install them (You know....Have a beer....think about it....get the tools.....go to the bathroom...oh look, I haven't seen that on TV.....another beer....then install...etc.). It's pretty straightforward.

Thanks Mitch,
I too am mechanically challenged. My Wife wrenches better then me. Maybe i'll ask her.

I can give you a hand. I have all the basic tools at my house and they've been getting neglected. PM me and we can see about meeting up, putting them on, and going for a ride afterwards to test them out. :D
Or I can even head out towards you.

Easy install, did mine in less then an hour, just make sure you are not pinching any cables/hoses with the wheel turned to full lock in both directions.
