bar risers ?

[viper]

who has them, what difference did they make, do they make you sit higher/ further back/ more comfort ?

thanks

I have a pair of Heli bar risers and IMO they are great. I found the original riding position put too much weight on my wrists which I found very uncomfortable particularly as I have ostia-arthritis in my hands. Since fitting the risers I have had no problem and I find the riding position much more comfortable as I have a more upright riding position and slightly further back. This would be a problem with the original screen but with a calsi xl there are no problems with this at all.

Fitted them, and 3 months later removed them.
Caused wrist and shoulder ache.
It seems I prefer the OEM bar height.
I would like to straighten them out a bit though as I have wide shoulders.

I have got Boomers old risers,  and they have been on for years now, and I think they are great, I would not go back to standard. So I guess the answer is to fit a set, if you hate them, sell them on here......... Thanks Boomer ........ lol

[viper]

thanks chaps , i think boomer is a large lad, maybe why he struggled with them, i goona fab a crude set my self from block ali to see how they perform.

im assuming they go straight in without any cable problems ?


what thickness are they , does anyone know ? 50mm?

I am considering bar risers too as I had a slipped disc 6-7 years ago and back will never heal fully. I looked at the Helibars which are 2" higher & 3/4" back and apparently do not require longer cables

I have the 2" and you don't need to change anything else. There's plenty of slack in the cables

Thanks debs for the confirmation.. It will be on my wish list

Yer very welcome. 
I do have very long arms and back for my height.
Not quite long enough to scratch my knees without bending though,....

Like Deb's I have the 2" risers - made all the difference to my comfort. More upright seating position. No more vibrating in the throttle and the wrist feels more relaxed too.

Ordered some 2inch risers from bykebitz, the ones with he socket and RAM ball... quite like the sport touring adapters too but going to see how I get on with these first.

Long shot i know, but does anybody have a set they could lend me so i can machine up some similar? either laying around the garage or perhaps if anybody has laid there bike up for the winter i could borrow?

I have access to the correct stuff plus machinery.

Thanks
Alan

Alan, I can see a little cottage industry forming
