Bar backs: what are the options

Post by NorseMan9 »

OK, I need to find a solution to the sore wrists. Can anyone point me to a site or two that has a solution that will bring the handle bars back a couple inches?

Thanks

Just installed my Moto-Techniques risers...and I love them... I have long arms anyway, and I wasn't sure I would like them...or could get use to them.. one week of riding with them, I love them..... my wrists don't ache!!

Take a look at the Wunderlich Touring Wellness bars. For me, part of the problem was the reach and part of the problem was the wrist angle. The bar backs only solved one of my problems. I ended up with both Verholen bar backs (which are great) and the Wunderlich bars. Add a throttlemeister cruise control and the ergos are 1st class.

I bought them 3 years ago for my r and would not or could not ride without them. $40 and they are great!
