Roy,
Fitted some tail raisers a couple of weeks ago. Biggest problem for me was getting bottom bolt undone directly opposite exhaust. Just could not get leverage to undo. Resorted to laying bike on floor and nut came off easily. Stood bike up once nuts loosened, on centre stand, and then easy to change, just slide bolts out lifting swing arm to take pressure off bolts. Delayed fitting as unsure as what problems would be encountered but it is literally a 15 min job. If centre stand no jack required.
Tail raisers were a similar length to original just holes were slightly closer (couple of mm).
Does make big difference getting onto bike - definately higher (have suspension on max anyway). Now have more concerns about side stand, even less confident about the angle of lean. Risers do make a difference to handling and front end feels tighter. Not had the opportunity to see if i can get around light front end feeling though!
