Am thinking of fitting a set of Genmar bar risers has anyone fitted risers if so are they worth the £100 cost??

 

Got some on mine, as to the cost dunno i did'nt pay that for mine you get them on e-bay every now and again , helped my riding position with a bad back tho'

 

I don't know how much they cost but I have risers on mine and I love them.

scrapy918, what kind of bar risers are those. I might get a pair if they aren't to expensive and the ones that you have look really good as well.

 

I called GenMar about risers for my bike, 05 f4i, and was told they do not make them for my bike yet. Anyone have an idea if risers for an 04 would fit?

 

What about HELI (BARS)? I hear that they will custom make you a set. My buddy has a 97 suzuki tls1000 and they only cost him something like 250.

 

the ones I have are Heli bars, heres the number for them 1-800-859-4642

 

Hello scrapy, thats a really nice bike you have there.
What model year is it?
Whats is the brand name of the bags?


By the way, the number you have given for the Helibars is a phone number?
Looking at there home page (http://www.helibars.com/) i can´t find helibars for the CBR?
Please advice.

 

The problem isn't just the rise, but also the angle of the bars. I wanted mine higher and angled more straight like a drag bar. I raised the clip-on's 3/4 inch. I think that is the maximum safe distance while still clamping securely onto the fork tube. I then angled them forward. I used an adjustable pitch/bevel gauge to get each bar at the same angle. With the angle of the bars more flat, it's easier to push the 600 pound 1000F around tight corners. I thought the genmars were just 3/4 inch spacers? The best would be the LSL kit which uses honest-to-God real handlebars: http://www.spieglerusa.com/cfm/sbk.cfm

 

ya i've seen those lsl conversions and if they didnt cost 300 dollars i think i would have already bought that, they are very sexy. i think i might just find some motocross style clamps and drill a hole in the top of my triple tree and fit bars on that way. wont look as cool but sure will cost a lot less.
