Anyone seen/heard of Ryker handlebars to lower hand height?

[possum59]

Does anyone in the Ryker community seen or heard of handlebars for a 2021 Ryker Rally that lower the hand height when gripping the bars? I'm thinking about turning them upside down to see if that's do-able. I've looked at the Helibars & they just bring things 3 inches closer, not lower. I need to figure a way to keep the blood in my arm running downhill. Just a couple of inches would make the difference in my circulation issue. Yikes! Getting old sucks!

Hey there possum59, welcome to the forum! Upside down should be doable, but there may be a nubbin inside the switch housing you'll need to snip off, unless you want to drill a hole in the bar. Without the nubbin you may need to wrap a couple of rounds of tape on the bar to keep the switch housing from slipping. I've swapped out bars time and again on bikes over the years, got to take care of those hands. YouTube has several videos about Ryker handlebar swaps that might be worth a look, and you can check out some handlebar discussion on nightfalcon's thread, I think there's a picture or two:

Good luck, post back and let us know how it goes.

It's better than the alternative...
