Bar Risers & Tankbags?

[Steve B]

Anyone here had any issues after fitting bar risers and riding with a tank bag?
I've got NN risers and a Wunderlich tank bag fitted on a standard 1150 tank. Can't do a full lock without the handle bars hitting the bag.
Might have to consider removing risers which were fitted due to persistant pains down the arms.

Cheers for any ob's or personal knowledge.

I have the NN risers and a Baglux bag.

The Baglux used to snag before I put the risers on and it still snags with the risers.

Solution?

I just put a map pocket in place of where the tankbag used to go and I carry less clutter with me.

Goodbye tankbag! Keep the risers as comfort = safety = more miles = big smiles.

I've ditched the tankbag in favour of a topbox and Touratech's Handlebar bag instead. The bigger stuff goes behind me and the "hanbag" stuff (car park pass, earplugs, cash, etc.) just fits in the bag on the bars.

Try here.
