Pretty much !
They all do same thing,its trial n error,you get risers different heights,different angles, loads of choices of bars,etc.
All these things will give different results.
As has been said,the ones vtrbob uses are definately easiest to fit, but twice the price, but prob worth the extra money for the fact its just buy n bolt on,with no cutting or messing aboot.

I'm now having problems with wrist pains too, well the right one anyway (and no it's nothing to do with that before any of you suggest :wink: ), I did see the Doctor about it, apparently it's wear and tear to some of the tendon's, so I may have to submit defeat and fit a flat bar conversion to my bike :)

PS I'd say you did well Tim at that price too :!: :D

If someone could supply a decent dimensioned drawing, I'll try knocking a few pairs of brackets up. I can't anodise them right now as my acid tank is out of commision, but polished ally will look OK.

I think VTRBob is the only member (that I know of anyway) on here who has fitted that type of bar risers. So may be if you speak to him nicely he could give you/us the dimensions required :!:

If some one can get me the dimensions I will autoCAD a drawing for them.
