Bar Risers, um, Backers?

[raginmund]

I think I need the grips to be about 1" further back, toward me. Height is fine, if you see what I mean, but I think on long journeys I might get some wrist/finger pain if I can't get them a bit closer.

Any pointers, apart from dangling off a tree until my arms get longer?

Just been looking at these on the WWW. Is there a UK distributer as all the sites I am looking at are US?

I had some barbacks made years ago when they were only available in the US. They have been great and only drawback is they can make the steering feel a bit different. I have K11 bars at present to turn your hands in a bit but I'm keeping the b/backs just in case. Well worth it and eBay have some simple 'eens like mine.

Chad Hi...

what bike did you fit them to? I am about to order some for myself...1150GS, did you need to replace the brake lines for longer ones..... nnd they are nice looking as well. Had an email direct from manufactures who will send outside the USA....roxspeedfx.com

 

[chad]

no need to change brake lines or cables they just need loosening off a bit
