Bar Risers...

[podman]

Is their fault to my thinking on these types of bar risers?

[url]

To fit these risers, the forks need to be lowered in the yokes? So the riser and then the actual handlebar can be fitted/clamped to the stanchion, Yes?

In doing so, you are effectively lowering the front end of the bike ?.....and then using the risers to get that height back...

= spending £x for fook all difference and an hour out of your life?

Am I right or wrong?

No you take the clipon off, put the riser on & then put the clipon back...The risers are not as 'thick' as the std clip on so there is a gap above them for the clip on...It's wired but the clipon sits proud of the fork, hence the cap things to cover it up...

I had some... GB Moto IIRC awfull things made fek all differenc IMO, bit higher but did not alter the angles so made no difference to the wrist...Waste of money...

F2 bars are better re the angles...Flat bar mod will be a different kettle of fish re comfort...

A mate of mine had a pair of GB Moto risers on his Storm, like Mac says, rather an odd arrangement with approx. half of the clip-on clamp sitting above the fork stanchion. Although I will say my mate never had any problems with them, in actual fact he liked them.

I'm having wrist issues. And am looking at the F2 bars, I picked up on an old thread they're hard to come by. is this still the case or does anyone know where I can get some.

Poor response for you Kev! ! Thought it would have been smuttier! !

[dick taylor]

are there any mods required with the VFR bars. Don't mind doing the brake lines etc, just wondering whether they'd go in with any additional brackets or mods to the fairing.

Thanks

i had to trim a little of the lower edge of the fairing.the little wing type bits that hang down. only a few mil.

give me a few days and i will let you know how SV650 bars fit because im about to fit a set.

[dick taylor]

Thanks for your help. Look forward to seeing how the Sv bars fit. Found out That david Silver can get the F2 bars, so might be a simpler job but would welcome the feed back on the F2 bars

Thanks

[dick taylor]

should have read SV bars

cheers

if you get a chance, try a storm with flat bars... you need to get a few miles ride to get used to the riding position and extra leverage, but once you are calibrated its a revelation
