I've been riding my 06 F4i the past 3 months. Must be old age, buy my hands been sore when riding due to the pressure and especially in traffic while working the clutch.

Looking to get some bar risers to rid the pain, and found the following choices:
1. Genmar risers - 3/4" rise and claims no cables change ($110)
2. LSL risers kit - with triple clamp for 7/8 bars and include all cables ($360)
3. Freestyle Ingenuity triple clamp ($90) + cables ($??)
4. Converti Bars (> $300) + cables ($??)

Any input on which risers, and please share any details on what parts or cables (throttle, brake, clutch) are needed. Other links or photos would really be appreciated.

 

im gonna try and get a set of genmars, my bike kills my back
call me a wimp, but its takin its tool on me. an ez pull will help that clutch hand more than u will ever know
get a msr raptor-its maybe 50 bucks at most

 

i have used lsL conversion kits on 3 bikes..gsxr 1000/1300 and blade..good quality with all parts supplied..depends on what type of bars u use whether parts will rub the fairing or not

 

vangill - thanks for the tip on EZ pull. Let me know how you like the Genmars when they are installed

b mahony - how did the lsl fit you and any regrets?

 

on the gsxr 1000 you get top yoke with risers and all spacers and fittings..good top quality kit..you sit more upright but you have to mess around clutch/brake/throttle cables..you must make sure that u have full steering lock on both sides or u will hit the fairing otherwise

 

I have Cycle Cat riser bars on my 05 GSX-R 1000 and don't know how I rode without them. The riding position is a lot more comfortable but still sporty.

I just got a 2001 F4i that is going to be a track, loaner, Ice/lake bike. I put a Dirtbike bar conversion from HAI on it. It's still not on the road so I can't say how they are yet but sitting on the bike they feel great. They don't allow the forks to sit in the stock position so I might have to change them or have new risers fab'd.
