hellindustries Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Results are usable, not ideal. They were free, so i can live with it at resolve the few minor issues.First up: They work GREAT! Really taken the weight off my wrists and quite a bit of strain off my back that i didn't even know existed. It's also moved me into a better position to get the benefit of the Vario screen. Also feels like i have much more control over the bike.Negatives:They don't quite fit. Clearly my forks are thinner than a 6th gen, but not by much, and the positioning is slightly off.I can probably fix that with a washer under the riser to level it out, and maybe a sleeve inside the riser to eliminate any free space.The bars clamp on perfectly fine and feel solid. though the riser caps won't fit as they're too wide and sit low. I admit this is a bit of a bodge-job, but for free? Great result.Happy to swap for some proper 5th gen risers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hellindustries Posted October 2, 2015 Author Share Posted October 2, 2015 I've probably got some OEM handlebars on a shelf somewhere. Oh, mine are OEM, but the risers are for a 6th gen. I have some 5th gen risers on their way to me. Unless i've misunderstood? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now have proper 5th gen risers. Sold the old ones to pay for most of the new ones. Everything now sits properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
