I've had my bars on my bike for about seven years now, and I got them used off ebay for about $100. And now that I look closer to the bars on ebay right now, I think they are the Profi bars, the same bars I have. Like I said earlier, I can sit upright, with no pressure on my wrists, with my bars. Again, FWIW, these are Italian bars, I think, and they don't come up much on the US ebay (I've looked for them before when people have started similar threads). 41 mm is right for our bikes, correct? Anyhow, if anyone's interested, I would jump on these.

Yep, 41mm.

On the gen mar risers, I don't think they're worth it at all and I've said it before. They came on my bike when I bought it, but I wouldn't dish out that kind of money to have them. I don't find my bike too aggressive for long rides with it set up the way it is, though, and it looks good. Maybe down the road I'll look into something like the ones you have, paco. Old man bars as you say.

Exactly! You could just slide something that is 3/4 inch under each clamp and then tighten them and have the same results.

I had GenMars and was not that pleased with them.

Anyone have suggestions on where or what kind of bar risers or spacers to use?

Yeah, your options are pretty much VFR clip-ons (or aftermarket ones that fit)

For a set of aftermarket ones that should fit, see my post on page 1 of this thread for a link.
