Ebabe Posted December 15, 2009 Share #1 Posted December 15, 2009 Does anyone know if there is a set of one-inch handlebar risers available, and where, for 2nd generation venture? Thanks for any feedback, Ebabe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bummer Posted December 15, 2009 Share #2 Posted December 15, 2009 (edited) How about these? Woops. Those are 1 1/2". Sorry, nope. Edited December 15, 2009 by Bummer details, details, details Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1BigDog Posted December 16, 2009 Share #3 Posted December 16, 2009 The 1 1/2" risers from Barons are what your looking for. Only other mod you can do is to replace the handlebars with the Flanders bar along with longer cables. Lets see....75.00 vs over 400.00 for the flanders mod.......you do the math!!

Renne Posted December 16, 2009 Share #4 Posted December 16, 2009 I took a stock set fr my Road Star, cut off the threaded stem then machined the base to fit the cup up the existing riser on my RSV, got longer screws and done! 1in rise! If you know a machinist,,, good,,,I do...........also as an added thought, one can remove the vibration dampers at end of your bars and make extensions to them (little thought here) and guess what,,,wider bars sans the $400.00 (?) Flanders................(I'M old school)! Renne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ediddy Posted December 16, 2009 Share #6 Posted December 16, 2009 when you use these risers do you still use the rubber thingys that are with the stock bars? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloodbought1 Posted December 16, 2009 Share #7 Posted December 16, 2009 when you use these risers do you still use the rubber thingys that are with the stock bars? I left mine where they were,whether that's right or not I don't know. The rubbers haven't moved so far. HTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebabe Posted December 16, 2009 Author Share #8 Posted December 16, 2009 (edited) Thanks for the feedback. I'll try to 1 1/2 Barons. Just don't want too much. I'm close to being good as it is, but a little more would help. Regards, Ebabe Oops, changed my mind. Went with the ebay risers.

SpaceMan Posted December 17, 2009 Share #9 Posted December 17, 2009 When I installed my 1 1/2 inch baron risers I saw that the rubber "bumpers" or "supports" no longer touched the faring/dash. I believe those bumpers were there to provide support if the faring flexes towards the back at speed. So, I took a nice new piece of 1 inch rubber hose from auto parts shop, split it and black tie wrapped it around the handlebar right between the two risers. This was a tight fit, but that is what I wanted as it once again supports the dash/faring. Looks ok to me too. Or, better than a possible crack in the faring.

ediddy Posted December 17, 2009 Share #11 Posted December 17, 2009 Hey SpaceMan, Did you have to re route your cables? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBear Posted December 17, 2009 Share #12 Posted December 17, 2009 I added the Baron's and didn't have to re-route a thing. Had plenty of slack in all cables. Sadly...the riser really didn't help much...even after moving the bars through all of their range of motion....I just can get comfortable...maybe my arms are too long?? Without the risers, my arms were more outstretched (almost locked), which created tension across the shoulder blades. With the risers, the shoulder blade pain is gone, put my arms are in more of a "bent" position, which induces it's own discomfort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
