Wanted: Bar risers

[KeVstrom]

Putting the feelers out to see if anyone has any used risers going cheap. Ebays a bit expensive at the mo. If all else fails i buy a block of aluminium and have them machined out.

 i.ve always thought the bars on the gtr were high enough,i've got them on my 1441,but obviously the bars on that are a lot lower, if you make the bars any higher on the gtr you will look like peter fonda in easy rider,
i'll keep a look out for a gtr chopper when i'm up the toon!!!!!

[KeVstrom]

cheeky git! 
im finding im getting a bit of soreness in the wrists, this is increased as the speed increases cos the vacuum effect from the fairing/screen. For long journeys, this is gonna be a problem.

might go for ape hangers instead then

[keith]

how come you do the hoovering when you ride your bike!!!!

[KeVstrom]

i figured you wouldnt understand, your black one obviously isnt as fast as my neptune blue one

You are looking at £70-£100 for a new set.
There are plenty of options though.
I sold mine 3 years ago and to be honest I haven't missed them at all.

,     i sold my blue one ,i still havn't seen a better one , they look good in blue, as for the fastest  , you are right as i am stll running mine in, bet i could beat you to 75  mph though !!!!

Im gonna pop over to metal supermarket and see how much a block of 2" 6061T6 is and see which mate i can tap to machine it. Its gotta be less than 70 quid!! ive just spent silly money on exhaust, pegs, tat, need to save some money somewhere.

Hi Kev

I had a similar problem with sore wrists on my GTR but didn't want to fit risers. In the end I fitted wedges which measured at the bar ends reduce overrall width by 1.5" back towards rider by .75" & about 1" higher. Got mine from murphskits, can't remember how much but not cheap with import duty etc but they have worked for me with no more sore wrists. I guess you pays your money & hope for the best. Hope you find a solution.

Regards

Trotter, whats these wedges? Have you any pics?

[Trotters]

Kev, sorry no photo's at the moment, not got the bike handy. They are aloy wedges that fit the same as risers but alter the angle of the bars. go on www.murphskits.com & it gives you the info there.

I have the 2" risers on mine and would not be without them.. Certainly makes the riding better.. 

[KeVstrom]

AH right i get what you mean hence the name wedges!

Debs so no chance you selling me yours then. 

Is there a difference between the ABS and Non ABS risers? Cos they look the same!

[Debs]

Debs so no chance you selling me yours then. 

Not a chance....

No difference between ABS & non-ABS.
If you get a set made make sure that you get a threaded hole made to take the bolt for the brake hose mount as that will need to move up.
You may be able to make a set for less than £70 but it's a lot of effort to save a few quid.
