No more GENMAR risers so now what options?

[Skypilot_imp]

So yes according to several hits on the web and some feedback here it appears the GENMAR is out of business AND has my $$. Problem is that I am still looking for risers and I’m not finding many options. What I’ve seen so far are...

1 The Rox pivoting risers which fit but may or may not cause cable/wiring issues

2 I cannot find any from SW Motech despite the fact that I see that brand a lot around this forum

3 These Zetas that are universal but don’t really give much in the way of info
Zeta 7/8" Offset Handlebar Risers - RevZilla

Looking for any other options or input here!

Never had a problem with delivery from this supplier.

Looks just like the Rox thanks for the link. Do you run those risers on your bike?

I was thinking about these for my Mule, but I probably don't need them. However if I change my mind, I can likely receive them in two weeks.

I heard the cry for assistance and found these so-called CB versions. I don't use risers on my CB1100.

I installed a set of up and back zetas. Added +2 brake lines.

I installed these:
Motorbike Handlebar Risers
No issue with brake lines.

I’ve looked at those but hesitated bc if the weird gap that the motech riser leaves underneath.

Hey Skypilot, what weird gap?

Can you ID the gap from the photos from this thread?

Did you NEED to add the 2+ brake line or was it piece of mind

OK, I see that gap in the photo, but that's a different set than what I purchased, which leave no gap. I'll check on part number for what I bought.

Its a need in my book unless you want them tight as a guitar string at full lock.

 

[Skypilot_imp]

Got it

 

[Skypilot_imp]

There are a couple of specs here that I don’t know yet since I am brand new to this CB. I’m also being lazy and avoiding takin the bars off to find out for myself. These specs come from a set of risers that I’m looking at.
Basically are the riser bolts M8 standard pitch?

Yes. Many questions of this nature can be found by looking at the parts fiche. Here is one. Item 26 by the way: https://www.partsfish.com/oemparts/a/hon/52f28beff870021404ec5a37/handlebar-top-bridge

 

[Skypilot_imp]

Nice thanks popgun I haven’t used partsfish yet but now I know

 

[Lord Popgun]

Partsfish isn’t the only one either. There are others online. If ordering, it pays to check other sites as the prices can vary. One nice thing about partsfish is they show the list price too. The one I referenced is for a 2014 standard. Just pick the year and model you want to look at.

 

[Skypilot_imp]

Thanks again

For those that have added a 2" riser (say like Rox), is there a replacement (longer) brake line you'd recommend?

I ordered the Rox 2" adjustable risers, see if it'll help take some pressure off the wrists & shoulders during longer rides.

All the experienced guys here feel free to Correct me if I’m wrong. I’m too new to really answer this but I’ve asked the same question and the responses are mixed. It seems that barback style risers might have a better chance of not needing +2 inch brake lines and/or cables but still possible. The Rox are taller than most barbacks so pretty good chance you will need them but again I’ve read here that some have installed the Rox without new lines/cables
