I put some old drivel on here a while back asking for practical real world advice on how to get a better riding position. After a futile search for the recommended 'bars, I decided to go the risers route.
I bagged a set of these https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/224430583837 but at a very healthy discount for Christmas ( I paid £48)
I finally got round to fitting them this morning and they went on with no fuss, no faffing with cables, and a clear lock-to-lock turn of the bars.
Just got back after a 60 mile bimble round West Yorkshire with a mix of A roads, B roads, town and a bit of fast dual carriageway riding and I must say that the subtle 2" (50mm) rise and slight pull back has made quite a noticeable difference to the riding position. I am not suffering with the usual pain in the left arm ( the one I broke which led me to search for a solution) and the more relaxed upright position has reduced the usual backache.
Took a while but I got there in the end
