howlinhoss Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Has anyone replaced the stock handle bar risers with a shorter version? I see some short handlebar bar risers that fz6 and fz1 guys use. I am playing with this idea as I am building up my fz to be a track bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I any links for the sets the fz6/1 guys are using? tried using a cheapo set off amazon, i dotn care for the way they feel. Ive even debated grabbing some of the fz09 risers as they are about half the height of stock not sure how well they'll work though ATGATT... ATTATT, two acronyms I live by.

Never could get em aligned right, and the aluminum is softer than advertised Plus the anodization has turned gold ATGATT... ATTATT, two acronyms I live by.

howlinhoss Posted April 10, 2016 Author Share Posted April 10, 2016 Also I didn't know the fz09 risers were shorter. I will have to take a look at those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howlinhoss Posted April 13, 2016 Author Share Posted April 13, 2016 This looks like an interesting option. http://www.motorcycle-talk.net/forum/mt-07-fz-07-modifications/791-gilles-tooling-speedometer-lcd-bracket.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howlinhoss Posted April 13, 2016 Author Share Posted April 13, 2016 I also saw that fz1 riders use a GYTR low riser. Looks much lower than stock. GYTR Low Risers The GYTR low riser has the following measurements: Length at widest point of top clamp: 11.25cm Center hole to center hole, horizontal: 8.5cm Center hole to center hold, vertical: 4cm Accepts 7/8" handlebars Going to go see if this fits the bike.

tag Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 I'm following this. I want to keep the bike streetable but at 6'1" the stock bars are too high and close for any real fun at a trackday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goose Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 i was trolling eBay and found a set of risers from an old Yamaha Radian for $15. They are as low as you could get and they work fine, not super pretty but i guess you could hit them with a quick shot of spray paint before install. I also re-used the upper clamps so I'm really just runnign the bottom of the clamps from the radian. You're gonna have to improvise a new way to mount the gauges but no big deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregjet Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 I just used a over the counter set of ordinary bar clamps. They came with a bigger main boly and I turned a couple of spacers to replace the rubber ones that are stock. Good improvement in road feel and not much more vibration. Moves the bars down and forward. I think I posted somewhere on the forum including with spacer dimensions. Go forth and modify my son...go forth and modify...
