Hello I am James, a newbie here, I just bought a 1997 CBR 900RR and I am in desperate need of some handle bar risers, as this is my first sport bike, have owned many 1000cc street bikes. this bike is killing my neck. It has the big square looking mirror supports on it. Is there any help as far as anybody installing risors on this bike in the past. thank you I am a American retired in the Philippine islands.

 

Is this bike stock right now? Welcome to the forums.....

 

Personally I don't find the older Blades have a particularly extreme riding position and in fact the 1997 Blade is one of the more comfortable Fireblades to ride.

Before you but risers on try stomp grips on the side of the fuel tank so you grip a bit more with your knees and put less pressure on your wrists, I'm in my 50's and manage a full day on mine in reasonable comfort.
