Handle Bar rasiers or not? how much?

[ocfire82]

Hello All! Here it is winter in Ohio and my 09’ RS Spyder is in the barn just waiting for its first upgrades as soon as we get through the holiday season, and man do I have a list. The first thing I am looking to do is comfort and that is where my questions start.

Let me put down the ground work first and let’s just say a lot of people refer to me as “FUN SIZED” :roflblack: ok so I’m 5’2” and 160 pounds 39 year old male.

I can’t say I am uncomfortable on my Spyder because that’s a big selling point for someone my size. I can ride 1000cc bike and not have to get lift shoes LOL. As an engineering, continuous improvement is my life and hay I just like to tinker. So my plan is to add a Corbin Seat with a C.H.A.D windshield floorboards and other goodies from ISCI’s but the one thing I am questioning if I need handle bar risers and if so how much I see anywhere for 1” to 4.5”. Thanks for everyone’s help and can’t wait to post my pics of the new and improved Yellow Spyder of my very own. Happy Holidays too all.

I tried the risers that you cut the handle bar and didnt like them so I used a handle bar off an old ski-doo, I got about 5" of rise and 4" back, plus they are narrower, which made a big difference in steering control and my hands dont block the mirrors and put them behind the windshield. if you want pics. PM me.
