Title: do 7/8" bar risers really make that much of a difference? Post by: nikkimonster on August 10, 2011, 08:18:54 PM who has it on and does it help make rides more comfy?
Title: Re: do 7/8" bar risers really make that much of a difference? Post by: dennisd on August 11, 2011, 06:39:44 AM I have Jess Racing risers on my M1100. I don't recall what amount they brought the bars up but I can say it made a difference for me. I'd do it again.
The amount of benefit you will get depends on your situation. I broke my right wrist many, many years ago and weight on my wrist eventually will make my hand completely numb but it hurts at the same time (that make sense?) I use my core muscles to hold myself in the proper position but there is still some weight on the wrist. The risers made enough of a difference to me to make them worth the price and labor to install. Title: Re: do 7/8" bar risers really make that much of a difference?

A big rise can make a good bit of difference. Title: Re: do 7/8" bar risers really make that much of a difference?

My old 620 once tipped over so I replaced the bar with the SM. They were great at first but a little too aggressive for touring so I added bar risers and they made a huge difference in comfort. |
