bar riser suggestions

Post by jeepinbanditrider »

I'm looking for some aftermarket bar risers. Any suggestions would be great I'm about 5 7 and find that when riding the bike in a normal riding position if I don't want to be leaned way over the tank I have to fully extend my short little arms which makes for some uncomftrable riding to say the least.

So if anyone has any bar or bar riser suggestions for me let me know. I want to keep all the same length throttle, and brake, ect lines on the bars I don't want to extend.

ordered some. 1 in up 1 1/4inch back. Should do me well and get me sitting more upright.

my experience with the risers is that you only want to go up. not back
throws off the perceived steering angle if not the real thing.

Too late :lol: If they don't feel right to me I'll sell them off and try another set or see if they will exchange.
