handlebar risers

[terrydlargo_imp]

Has anybody installed a set of risers on their cb1100 yet? I was thinking about getting the GenMar risers, and would be interested to get an evaluation from an informed source.

Did you get the 1 inch up, or the 1 inch up and 1.5 inch back? Also did you move or do anything with the wiring?

The up and back risers require you to disconnect the upper brake line bracket and possible re-routing of some wiring. I've installed them on other bikes and installation is pretty much the same.

Therebis plenty of wire and cable room. I have a setbof slightly taller but more bend in and down bars I hope to install with the gen mar risers as well.

Can anybody tell me where you ordered your risers? The universal risers jamboa got sound good.

I am glad you are all doing this, I have been thinking about risers since I test rode the bike.

Just got a set of GenMar Universal #X-103 risers in the mail today.

I have short arms so this was just the ticket.
No binding of any cables during install.
The stock plastic Honda bolt caps do not cover the Genmar holes 100%. The GenMar holes are a little oblong in the top clamp.
I can pivot the bars back more if I need it right now I don't.
I am pleased.
$75.95 delivered to Wisconsin. The "bossman" was out of the shop the day I called so I talked the guy who answered the phone into some free shipping.

Pretty please?

...but the handlbars are already so tall. i generally like tall handlbars, but i was actually considering lowering these.

 

[TubaTim_imp]

I'm thinking about adding risers as well. Do they make an appreciable difference in handling?

Welcome TubaTim.

Despite being tall and having long arms, I had to lean forward for the handlegrips and levers on my CB1100 EX. I bought the GenMar Universal Risers: 1"up and 1 3/8" back. Worked out well because I also bought a taller seat. Now I don't have to lean forward which is easier on the small of my back on my day long rides.
