Kraus Kickback Isolated Risers
$489.00 USD
-
Increase rider comfort and control with our Kickback Isolated Riser.
The Kickback moves the bars 1.5" towards the rider.
Our Kickback Isolated Riser utilizes the exact same technology as our Isolated Riser, the only difference is that the Kickback offers a one-piece kickback center section that pulls the handlebar back 1.5" toward the rider. Like the Isolated Riser, the legs are solid-mounted to the top triple tree with our supplied billet bushings and the rubber isolators have been relocated inside our billet midsection just below the bar clamp. The result is increased rider comfort and superior performance due to the more rigid, responsive setup. The proprietary use of these rubber isolators also reduces handlebar vibration and play due to less leverage being placed on the bushings.
Handlebar clamping area is 1⅛" for MX style bars or 1" for traditional OEM Harley and aftermarket bars.IMPORTANT: the 5" version is not compatible with our Raptor or T-Rex Pullback Plates
-
- Our hard-mounted risers create a super solid bar feel.
- Moving the bushings up dramatically decreases vibration.
- We designed our risers to be modular, meaning you can swap out your riser legs at any point should you choose to go with something taller/shorter. No need to buy a whole new riser setup. See the Riser Legs product page for more info.
- Bottom bar clamp has an opening to accommodate hidden wiring.
- Choose between a 1⅛ moto bar or traditional 1" bar. We offer a bar clamp for both.
- Bushing life is increased and require less maintenance.
- Our riser is 3.5” on center for standard OEM Harley fitment.
- Ships with 1 solid, billet riser bushing set.
- Height is measured from the bottom of the riser to the middle of the bar clamp.
Handlebar clamping area is 1⅛" for MX style bars or 1" for traditional OEM Harley and aftermarket bars.
Kraus Isolated Risers
$449.00 USD
-
Our Kraus Isolated Riser is the solution for bad handling bars.
Utilizing the supplied billet bushings, the Isolated Riser is designed to be solid-mounted to the top triple tree. This creates a much more rigid bar setup, allowing for far greater use of your bike's suspension and braking capabilities. As for vibration dampening, we relocated the rubber bushings just below the handlebar and inside what we call our riser midsection. Our proprietary use of these rubber isolators drastically reduces the amount of unwanted leverage being placed on the bushings, as well as creates a much more solid bar feel, giving you greater confidence in your bike's handling.
-
- You'll notice the difference of a hard-mounted riser leg and relocated rubber isolator right away. Far less vibration and a much better bar feel.
- Handlebar clamp is offered in either 1⅛ inch for Moto style bars or 1 inch for standard Harley bars.
- Bottom clamp has an opening to accommodate hidden wiring.
- To make it easy, we offer a 1⅛ Moto bar on our site.
- 3.5” on center for standard OEM Harley fitment.
- Bushing life is increased and maintenance needs are lowered.
- Wiring slot in center of riser body allows for easy installation and clean wiring.
- Our Kickback and Straight Risers are modular, meaning you can swap out just the legs should you decide to run a shorter/taller rise down the line. See the Riser Leg product page for more info.
T-Rex Pull Back Plate
$179.00 USD
-
The T-Rex Pull Back Plate mounts to the top of the triple tree and moves your bar mounts towards the rider 2.5".
The T-Rex plate adds 1" of height.
-
Street Glides and bikes with Batwing Fairings. The T-Rex Plate moves the bars back towards the rider to clear the Navigation screen and stereo so you can run straight risers or T-Bars. When running the T-Rex pullback plate you can not use your stock Key Switch/Steering Lock so you will need to relocate the switch. Check with your local shop or dealership for options. Some bikes can be reprogrammed to not need the key switch at all.
Suggested for use on Street Glides and Electra Glides but can also be used on other Harley's including Road Glides, Softails and Dynas.
- If you are running Kraus Isolated Risers then this kit has everything you need to have the most solid and best-performing setup.
- If you are not running Kraus Isolated Risers you will need a set of replacement Bagger Polyurethane Bushings to install under your risers in the T-rex Plate.

Raptor 1 1/2 in Pull Back Plate
$189.00 USD
-
The Raptor Pull Back Plate is for Road Glides.
Bolt it to your stock or aftermarket triple tree to relocate the bar mounts towards the rider 1.5" so that you can mount any standard risers and they will clear the Gauges on 2014 up Road Glides.

Why an Inverted front fork suspension is superior to a conventional (tube & slider) front suspension
Front forks on a motorcycle need to be as rigid as possible, to function as effective suspension parts. They also need to be as light as possible.
An inherent advantage of inverted forks is their weight, they're lighter than conventional front ends. A steel fork tube is the heaviest part of a traditional fork assembly. By design, inverted forks have shorter and thinner walled fork tubes. This results in less steering inertia and more responsive handling feel.
One more benefit, inverted front ends deliver better compression and rebound dampening than conventional designs. Oh, and one more big benefit when you compare invented front ends against the conventional front (tube & slider) ends is their strength.
Inverted forks, by design are stronger than conventional front end assemblies
Most of the stress applied to forks occurs just below the bottom triple tree. When you pull the brake lever you are “braking the wheel” and the bike slows because the front wheel is attached to the front suspension. The momentum of the bike transmits through the forks, trying to push the front wheel.
Think of the force being exerted upon a steel fork tube, just below the lower triple tree, now think of that same force on an inverted front end - clearly the inverted front end is stronger, by far, the tube absorbing those forces is of a much greater diameter.
Inverted forks are exponentially more rigid because they mount the larger diameter “slider” to the triple tree. Conventional forks mount to the triple tree via the smaller and heavier steel fork tube.
The much more rigid (compared to a steel fork tube) slider makes up a higher percentage of the overall length in an inverted front end. This design benefit reduces flex and improves handling and feel, what we call “connectedness” when compared to a conventional design..
Additionally, inverted forks are stronger because they have more overlap – the distance the fork tube protrudes into the slider – than conventional forks. The more overlap, the more rigid the front fork assembly.
Clearly, you can see why we are such fans and proponents of the inverted front fork design!! There is no reason we all can’t enjoy the benefits of a well built and designed front suspension. KRAUS is working hard to bring these big benefits to the riders that need and will appreciate them most, the Long Riding touring set and the Dyna Tough riders!
