Beemer Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Has anyone used these risers and if so, what do you think of them? The price seems nice enough. https://www.amazon.com/Motorcycle-HandleBar-Handle-Mount-Clamps/dp/B072PZ6N63/ref=pd_sbs_263_6?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B072PZ6N63&pd_rd_r=1YFDZW8SPWRN43P8GVKX&pd_rd_w=YKNND&pd_rd_wg=nwAOM&psc=1&refRID=1YFDZW8SPWRN43P8GVKX Beemer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Says unavailable now. They have good reviews so I'm thinking, why not? Beemer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nick13 Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 I'd be scared to go with anything other than tested original item in such important area ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beemer Posted October 6, 2017 Author Share Posted October 6, 2017 I'm back with the verdict on these things! It's been awhile and I tried to put them on the other day but they didn't work, only because the cables/lines weren't long enough. I don't think there was even a half inch of slack, more like a 1/4" and I found out after putting everything back on my front brake line had been pinched off a little but is 100% now. (thought the pads had faded but no) I really wanted these risers to work but that's OK, I did turn the bars up a little so that they are slightly higher than before and that actually made enough difference to please me.

r1limited Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 ^^ Lesson learned, oneof the least things thought of is how changing bars, rise pull back will effect cable runs. I canot count anymore the times I re-discovered this and then spent hours trying to re-route and then spending money on new longer cables from Motion Pro.. “Laws that forbid the carrying of arms disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes.” --Thomas Jefferson quoting Cesare Beccaria Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michigan400 Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 I ran a set on my XR400 a few years back (Rox version). IMO, you would be better off finding different bar mounts that will hold 1-1/8" bars and adjusting the position with the particular bar bend you get. The FZ has what equates to "mini" bike bars in the dirt bike world. Narrow and tall with medium sweep. Are you wanting bars forward more or back and higher? Small adjustments in height or sweep can go a long way for comfort. Like you did, I rotated mine up slightly and that did the trick for me on the FZ.

mick97702 Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Has anyone tried these? Like @nick13 said, I'd be concerned with such a inexpensive part failing on such a critical component. These look robust and I like the fact they can't rotate in the original clamp by design. But I'm nervous dropping $100+ on them just to find out the controls are not long enough...

gregjet Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 If you set the pictured clamps FORWARD then you should have no cable length problems. Because the stock clamps are angled back , the bar centre will not be very forward anyway compared to aftermarket straightup clamps. If you are worried about strength , it is the bolts that matter. You could always buy some Hi-ten bolts to go with them from a bolt shop. They won't be dear at all. Though I think I remember you saying you wanted them back and up in another post?
