Handle bar risers

Post by PT »

Has anybody experience with either handlebar risers or fitting bars from another bike in order to lift the riding position a little.

Thanks Pt

I also fitted the Renthal bars to my Storm. An exact copy of what Tony did. Its a good mod and makes the bike more comfortable and manageable. Specially if your body don't bend like it once used to!

I've done it to both of my storms.

I'd say it's how they should have been made. Or am I getting older and falling apart at the seams and need comfort? :?

From the man who is now riding an Sp 8O .
If you couldn't bend around the Storm and had to convert it with Renthals, what are you going to do with the Sp?...Put Cow horns on it?
