Tricky question

Everyone is different weights,different aches n pains ,so different needs

The Genmar and GB moto 19mm risers do make a difference for sure,but,for some people,me included,it wasnt enough

I fitted the bolt on to the yoke type which are readily available.
Raise your bars 19mm up the forks ,and tighten (obviously)

Run like that for a few days or weeks,if that height suits you,buy gb moto or genmar,if you need more height you would need to buy bolt on risers and change the bars .

VFR Bars, cheaper and fit straight on. Small mod to upper fairing for switches. Made shed loads of difference for me.

Mmm, dunno aboot that

..depends what you can pick up a pair o vfr bars for i suppose.
I got my renthal type bars and risers for around Â£45ish if i remember right

Vtrbob done the modification using risers that bolt on,renthal type bars ,with no fairing cutting , maybe that's the way to go

Anyway after doin 100miles or so,im still sore back,butt,etc,,friggin Goldwing i need
