Bar riser review 2014es

[LJM]

Just put on 30mm off-road bar risers and they really made a nice improvement. I'm 5'10" pretty normal arm length but on longer rides it felt like I was leaning forward or I needed to sit closer to the tank and standing up stock height just seemed a bit low. Its a cheap easy add on that made a big difference in comfort. The bars still have too much sweep for me but with risers the option to get bars with less sweep and not have replace cables is probably better. I'm going to end up replacing bars with some that have lees sweep but in the meantime I'm happy with risers.

'yup, 'nice quality stuff and I think they look good too:

I have them, too. I like them. I would like a little more pull back, but I don't want to go through all the process of rox. Also, I have a Corbin seat which makes me sit back just a bit. I'm comfortable, especially with my funky left shoulder.

Where did you get them? Link?
Thanks,

So do these need longer lines or are they ok? ::008::

 

[Davesax36]

Mine are fine with stock stuff.

Plenty of slack in lines

I've got a set I've been meaning to post up for sale. I had them on for 1000 miles or so and then went with the protaper bars. If anyone's interested PM me.

Edit. Don't mean to hijack a thread. If I need to delete it and post it in for sale section let me know.

Maxey's Yamaha here in OKC is stocking them.

I have the same ones. They are shipped from Germany! They work as they should and are a big improvement. Probably not as good as the 2" Rox but much easier to deal with, without the changing of the cables and all that mess.
