But my dumb question is "why do you need a spacer to raise the bars 20mm?"
I tried the same mod 2 years ago but didn't bother with a spacer. I just moved the clamps up 20mm and retightend them and it worked fine
VTR Firestorm and other bikes t-shirtsCheers Wicky for coming back with the update on your handlebar risersWicky wrote:Righty 20mm comfort risers fitted by Richard himself - all went well just some minimal filing required on retainer pins, and I'll need over the weekend to swivel clear a tight fitting aftermarket brake hose (we didn't risk doing it there as it will possibly necessitate a bit of brake bleeding) . Coming home it was a subtle and noticeable difference giving a slightly more upright posture - still good for 90mph+, there's enough swivel adjustment to ensure nothing clips the fairing.
I'll need to pop back to get the footpegs droppers fitted as they need to mod the prototypes to gain an extra option. Great bunch and they kept me coffeed up to go with the biccies I took up, and they had moved premises which accounted for the odd comms, and seeing the size and variety of their CNC machines they had to move and set up as priority it was quite a distrutive period they are coming out off! They are very keen on producing more bike bits. Very effective set up and system for meeting ebay orders from stock.
Suggested they produce for the Firestorm; generator caps, MCCTs, and 2-piece exhaust manifold flanges. They gave me a 5mm slotted rear shock spacer so I'll bring that to the workshop day if anyone wants to try it.

Return springs on the footpegs need tweaking with the droppers.
Forum member "Lockwood1956" posted up a photo of a VTR with the bars fitted upside down (link here viewtopic.php?f=30&t=38880 )and7rp2 wrote:I have got a zx7r,that ive swapped the bars over,( ie now upside down ) makes the bars higher and makes it a bit more comfortable.
I had to drill two small holes to make the controls sit properly.
Is it possible to do the same with VTR ?
Ive got straight bars on the VTR and cant find the original clip ons to check.
Good news with this mod, it costs nowt !!
