Must admit Bar risers were the greatest £100 I've spent on the bike yet, took a trip over on Liverpool ferry last week and rode down to Somerset and then Surrey and back and felt no discomfort at all.

Got mine fitted (see my bike thread) but have only been out 1 afternoon yet straightaway i can tell it muchos better. Glad i went for the 2" ones.

reason i selling is I never got round to fitting them as did Dr Dave that i bought them of.....  Oh and the fact i dont have a Gtr anymore  :mfr_lol:

Well i'd have them if A) the price was right, and B) I lived nearer Bolton.

It's not a good opportunity, or timing, from where I am sitting; ie trying to sell a pair of used ones  :no:

Mine have gone now  :clap: so it's an opportune time to say I thought they ruined the handling of the bike. It made the bike feel like a moped and made it very hard to turn in and the handling at low speed was terrible. It had them on it when I picked it up and as soon as I removed them it was like getting a new bike. I wouldn't recommend them to anyone; sorry

I also can't see how raising the bars will improve comfort unless you're very tall.
I'd prefer them a bit more forward and slightly lower actually, but I guess that's not an option.
The later you brake the longer you go fast.

I tried the ZZR but it was too 'sporty' for my taste.  :mfr_lol:
