Bar riser recommendations please
« on: 29 August 2014, 08:57:38 pm »
I'm only 170cm and short arms, I would like some risers to make things a bit more comfortable..

Seen these:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CNC-30mm-BAR-RAISERS-RISERS-FOR-Yamaha-MT-03-FZS-600-1000-FZ1-FZ6-Fazer-XJ6-XJ9-/181457149320?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts&hash=item2a3fb05d88


But look a bit cheap and not fitting true and tight (in the images at least)

Can anyone recommend something they have actually used and find good quality

I have just received the risers from M&P although it looks like they will bring the bars closer more than raise them , as the bike already has the standard curved angle raisers on already.

How the hell do I get the top of the clamp off around the bar. I've tried to prise off the metal circles in the clamp - I though these were caps but they aint moving ??

If you mean the little chrome buttons, they are only caps.. Could be that someone has glued them on?

cheers mate,
you're frekin aving a laff. OMG. No wonder they wont budge. I was using a screwdriver to prise but I was starting to scratch the riser as I applied more force. I thought they were just caps. Suppose I'l have to drill them off - or any other ideas?

They are only plastic, sharp blow with a screwdriver should either knock then off or break them.
