Tightwad Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Hi everyone, I have 1-inch or 3/4-inch risers with the stock clipons. It appears the clipon is pinned into the riser and the riser is pinned to the triple tree. (Confirm this?)I would LOVE to rotate my clipons forward slightly to reduce the bend in my wrist. I'm waaay more broad-shouldered than the test person who sat on the bike when they determined the bar angle. I have to bow my arms in funny for it to be comfortable... Other than helibars...can I do anything with the risers and stock clipons I have?? Thanks so much, ~Adam Hi Adam, You have tried slackening the bars off and pushing them forward to take up the movement in the assembly ? There isn't much there but it may help. Otherwise your options are simple : File off some of the front edge of the engagement tab on the bars, or the risers,or both. Obviously this reduces the strength.. The risers replicate the tab engagement , so some people will simply lift the stock bars up the fork leg and retighten them there without a riser - this gives the same effect but the bar WILL rotate around the fork leg under heavy pressure so that would be your call safety wise. It could turn a simple parking lot tip-over into a new tank purchase.. In any event, you won't be able to move the bars FAR forward without finding the levers/switches hitting the fairing on full lock. Rod Rod, Are you still selling Bar Risers? How does one go about seeing/ordering them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer VFRpilotDave Posted August 2, 2020 Member Contributer Share Posted August 2, 2020 I put GenMar bar risers on my ‘03 and it was a simple addition but I didn’t file off the position tab. It really helped comfort-wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
