One inch risers?

[Ebabe]

Does anyone know if there is a set of one-inch handlebar risers available, and where, for 2nd generation venture? Thanks for any feedback, Ebabe

How about these?

 

Woops. Those are 1 1/2".

 

Sorry, nope.

The 1 1/2" risers from Barons are what your looking for. Only other mod you can do is to replace the handlebars with the Flanders bar along with longer cables. Lets see....75.00 vs over 400.00 for the flanders mod.......you do the math!!

I took a stock set fr my Road Star, cut off the threaded stem then machined the base to fit the cup up the existing riser on my RSV, got longer screws and done! 1in rise! If you know a machinist,,, good,,,I do...........also as an added thought, one can remove the vibration dampers at end of your bars and make extensions to them (little thought here) and guess what,,,wider bars sans the $400.00 (?) Flanders................(I'M old school)!

YMMV

when you use these risers do you still use the rubber thingys that are with the stock bars?

I left mine where they were,whether that's right or not I don't know. The rubbers haven't moved so far.

 

HTH

Thanks for the feedback. I'll try to 1 1/2 Barons. Just don't want too much. I'm close to being good as it is, but a little more would help.

Oops, changed my mind. Went with the ebay risers.

When I installed my 1 1/2 inch baron risers I saw that the rubber "bumpers" or "supports" no longer touched the faring/dash. I believe those bumpers were there to provide support if the faring flexes towards the back at speed. So, I took a nice new piece of 1 inch rubber hose from auto parts shop, split it and black tie wrapped it around the handlebar right between the two risers. This was a tight fit, but that is what I wanted as it once again supports the dash/faring. Looks ok to me too. Or, better than a possible crack in the faring.

Hey SpaceMan,

Did you have to re route your cables?

Thanks

[BigBear]

I added the Baron's and didn't have to re-route a thing. Had plenty of slack in all cables.

 

Sadly...the riser really didn't help much...even after moving the bars through all of their range of motion....I just can get comfortable...maybe my arms are too long??

 

Without the risers, my arms were more outstretched (almost locked), which created tension across the shoulder blades. With the risers, the shoulder blade pain is gone, put my arms are in more of a "bent" position, which induces it's own discomfort.
