QUESTION: I am 6'-1 and 255 lbs, so what would be the overall theoretical benefit of these risers for me, when used with the stock handlebars?
Comfort? Control? Handling? etc....?
I already have the John's Kits forwards, and love them. Do the risers help with overall rider fit up, along with the forwards? Just looking for some background on how they improve rideability. |
I will let some other's chime in, I'm only 5'10", but will give the reasons I like them and made them....
The riser spacers are 1 inch high so at the angle they are installed they move the bars up and back around 3/4 of a inch, that gives you the ability to roll the bars back more if needed, for pull back up to 2 inches..
But what what I like about them, is the following.....
1- My arms are in a more relaxed position, and not stretched out.
2-The speedo is moved to a better viewing angle, for us getting older...lol
3- The steering seams more responsive, maybe just me , because elbows are at ease now.
For better response, you might want to ask the group, or bump up the old thread....everyone , of all heights , have sent me good reviews, after they install them.
And I have 5 sets left, as of today
