fitted these today.....great quality and only £32 posted...took less then 2 weeks to get to me....

 
only thing I found awkward was doing up the handlebar bolts...those stupid star bolts...
with the risers in the position I wanted I couldn't get the socket on well enough to tighten...did bottom set up but not too tight...then got it in the position I wanted...tightened up the top then with a ring spanner tightened the bottom ones...
 
I was going to say they are not much cheaper than genuine Rox.
Oops, scratch that. They must have heard about Brexit.

They must be a very good copy as the originals have exactly the same issues !
 
Serious questions,
Why do you fit risers?
I ask because even though I'm 6'4" I don't feel as though the bars are too low, or is this because I'm 6'4" ?
Do you fit them to bring the bars nearer to you if being shorter than me you find it a bit of a stretch?
Just curious and look forward to the reasons,
Don't get me wrong,
On one of my TL's I have a set of helibars fitted and the other one has been converted to rhenthalls to improve the riding position, I've just never felt the need on my gsa.
 
im 5.11....my main reasons for fitting risers is ive got lower back problems and sitting more upright helps me..
even tho im not leaning forward on the gs it just makes things more comfortable..
 
I find that sitting too upright causes me back ache. Every bump in the road rams through my spine. Leaning towards just a little is far more comfortable.
BTW I have Rox anti vibe risers with low rise Renthals so bars are similar to OEM. They have less rearward sweep so may be a little more forwards than OEM.
Btw, back pain is often due to weak abdominal muscles.
Neck pain is aggravated by round shoulders tight pectorals and scalene she with weak trapezius and weak posterior shoulder rotators.


Sent somehow.
 
my back issues are disc damage
also like these risers due to there adjustability....forward and backwards.
id say better then the risers which just raise a bit....
