I moved your question here .... the for sale section was not quite right ..LOL and besides , to even spit in the classifieds areas , you need to be a senior member (100 posts)
As far as the risers go ... there is a thread kicking around atm that has them in it ...I will check for you to see where it is...

gen mar makes risers for our bikes. They are kinda expensive, though. (like $80-90). I have them on my '95.
A more popular alternative is to use VFR clip ons. They have a nice rise to them, and will fit on our forks. Do a search on them... I'm not sure of the exact years that fit.

YUP Trout just put 96 VFR 750 bars on my 1993 1000F ....bars from Ebay
for $49 bucks + 10 to ship
Think it's VFR 750 1992 to 1996 years (41mm) fork tubes same as 1000F fork tubes
some earlier vfr bars were like 37 or 39mm fork bars.....too small

Well it would work for sure but you'd dip forward in your riding position a lil' bit more
and surely put lil' more pressure on your wrists, my idea in doing mine was gain a slightly
more up right riding stance with less wrist pressure and lesser bar angle both horizontally
and laterally. .... My vfr bars did that , pretty sure genmars do almost the same thing .
Get your point though Paco' the genmars are expensive option for just being essentially
spacers .......the vfr bars actually change the bar elevation angle by comparison man.
The genmars .....height only bar angle stays the same
Planning on another set of vfr bars for my 1990 eventually, I like 'em that much.

The old man bars that I currently run with are Telefix Profi adjustable bars, which I swear by and which allow me to ride sitting straight up with about a 4 inch rise over stock. The bars can also be adjusted down if I want to play old man racer for a day. The first pic is of the bars I have. Telefix also makes another adjustable bar called the Racer which has a little less rise- the second pic. The reason I mention this is that there is a set of their racers bars (seemingly painted) on ebay right now for $94 delivered. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1984-...item5195159db0 These bars should give much greater rise than the Gen Mars.
