    Default After input on Handlebar risers... Anyone?

    Would like some input on Lamonster Handel bar riser
    Trying to get bars more towards me as I don’t have much bend in arms
    And having to push backrest forward makes for not so relaxed long rides.
    Bars need to come towards me more to relax my arms.

    LM risers will help bring bars a little closer but for full adjustment, including wrist angle, you should look at Heli-bars. Not cheap but I found them to be the answer for max comfort.

    What year ride do you have? I have the '21 RT and tried a 2" riser from slingmods. The problem for me wasn't the rise but the handlebars themselves. I ended up buying the Helibars. They're expensive but you have many configuration options. But, having said that, I used to have the 2" riser with the F3 Attitude bars and that was a decent setup. I just wanted more.

    I added the lamonsters 2" riser to my 2021. This made all difference in the world for me. Coming from a 2011 RTS, the seat on the 2021 has 2" more butt room than my 2011.

    I have them on my '22 RTL and they work fine for me. Of course your reach and preference are going to be different.

    I put the short reach bars on my 2018 F3 Limited. Absolutely changed everything for the better

    I put the risers on my 2022 RTL and they helped, it still wasn't right. On my next trip to Missouri, I stopped in at Lamonster's and got the short reach bars. One of my sons lives very close to Nixa. I put the bars on with the risers and it still wasn't what I wanted. I took the risers off and now I just have the short reach bars and they work great. This is probably like seats, everyone is different, and you may have to experiment to find what works for you.

    6"1" and I put the Lamonster riser on - made a huge difference in my comfort - gave me some bend in my arms. (I did rotate the bars foreward a bit as well). It seemed to open up my view of the mirrors also.

    For my 2022 STS, I used some Lamonster 2" risers from my F3S, along with some leftover long reach bars. Oddly enough, long reach bars are taller than the OEM RT bars. Works great for me.
