Another 'One month in' thread

[StickyOne]

This is another topic along the lines of other posts.

I'm just over one month now and finding myself excited every time I open my garage door!
What a great bike!
Loads of character, steady under foot, and a thrill to own!
No regrets whatsoever.

It has what I think is a one and a half inch bar riser. PRD will confirm as it used to be his mount.
I would like to go slightly higher with the riser. Does anyone know the highest that is possible? Two inches? Two and a half?  Would there be any negatives with higher risers that I've not considered?

I've fitted a Laminar Lip. The screen is one of the low screens and although it's made a difference it's not as good as I would want it to be. I will be considering the alternatives. Ear plugs have helped.

Photos coming next when I've worked out how!

The only difference a higher bar riser would give is you might have to lengthen the pipes from the brake and clutch cylinders which go downwards.

I think the size you have is the max before major changes.

I have the 2" risers and you don't need to change the brake and clutch pipes as there is enough spare to reach the bolt holes.

Glad you are pleased with my old bike. I miss him! They are 1 and 1/2 inch riser from project d. He ald has a sound bomb horn fitted.

Bar risers will change how the rider 'sits' on the bike.  There's always unintended consequences.   In this case, unless the screen is massive, it could cause the rider to get more turbulence or increase the noise, or both.  So be prepared for it.  Additionally, the seat may or may not feel as good/worse as it did before.
