Default Bar Risers - help!

I am thinking about getting bar risers because I want to increase my comfort level for longer trips, but I don't know much about them.

Does anyone have them installed or has any advise about them? I'd love to see pics.

Lookin up the Helibars they look like the best option. Not cheap but could be worth it if it enables me to go on long rides

Just had Genmar risers installed on my F4i last week. ($109) I'm surprised what a difference that 3/4" makes. It's so much more enjoyable to ride and doesn't look goofy at all. Absolutely worth every penny.

No, I don't have pics nor a digital camera...sorry.

To those who installed the Genmar's, did you need to do the 5mm triple clamp adjustment as suggested on the instructions? If yes, how difficult is it to do?

If you're talking about having taller clip-ons there a few options. I went with dirtbike bars so I haven't paid that close attention to the clip-on options. Check these out from Bill at Full Throttle Inc. I'm skeptical of vendors and their products for good reason but Bill has turned out to be the man and has my business thanks to the way he follows up with customers. Darwin bars first link below and F4i pro bars below that:
