I've just received a new set of Handlebar Clamps/Risers, from the States.
Converted currency:
£35 for the Clamps.
£25 for the International postage.
THEN, collecting them from Parcelforce, there was ANOTHER £30 added! Import tax plus Parcelforce own "handling charges". :eek
.....Oh, plus did I mention the items don't fit !!!!! :oops The Fazer has a "hollowed" triple tree... not solid billet metal, like most other bikes.
The bespoke fixing Bolts with this Kit I picked up have exceedingly long Bolts that feature a LONG collar (prior to the thread), making them unusable on the Fazer.
Lesson learned - TRIPLE check what parts you require, while stook at your bike. Plus don't buy into anything that doesn't include full measurements added to the image(s) of the product.
I've also found its actually exceedingly difficult to pickup any aftermarket Handlebar clamps in 22mm 7/8 size. Noone really makes them!
Unless you settle for ebay Chinese knockoffs.
