• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Show Chrome Handlebar Riser - will the bolts be long enough for GPS?

Thinking about adding the Show Chrome handlebar riser. I also have a Zumo XT with center mount that I purchased from Lamonster. Will the bolts that are provided with the Show Chrome be long enough to also mount my Zumo XT or will I have to find longer bolts somewhere? The other option would be the Lamonster riser but it is not as customizable as the Show Chrome version. Appreciate any comments from the people that have installed the Show Chrome or Lamonter riser.
 
Photos or a link would be helpful. I have the Lamonster one. It's very nicely made, stout and matched the finish of the adjacent parts.
 
The difference from the Lamonster one I see are the two spacer plates, a hole that's left empty and a mismatched finish. I think either will provide the same result. My suggestion would be to get the Lamonster one and if more height is needed, you can easily rotate the bars up - they are not at a fixed position. Or make your own spacer.
 
MotoGuzzi, I got the Lamonster adjustable riser for my 20 RT (it is not adjustable like the CanAm one, but has spacer plates to vary the height).
One of the purchase options, for a small price, is a pair of longer bolts for those with a Garmin, which I have. Yes, I had to use them, but then I didn’t find the handlebar position comfortable so I bought Helibars, which did away with the riser.

If you still have the risers, I would be interested in buying them. I am about the opposite of you.. Only 5-7" , 28 inch inseam, and 210. Tried the short reach bars and then put me too far back. Another option is adjustable bars or Helibars but not crazy about spending that many $$$.

Sorry MotoGuzzi, I gave them to a mate…..plus, the ship cost from Australia would cost more than the risers :thumbup: .

If you can in any way afford it, I can not recommend the Helibars highly enough. The ability to rotate the bars themselves, then move the grips closer or further away, then angle the grips so that they fit your wrist angle, then rotate the controls to be exactly where they fall to hand is sublime. I thought my Lamonster Billy Club bars were a great fit for me. The Helibars are waaaaay better. ………yes, they are expensive, but to me they are worth every penny:2thumbs:.

I have the lamonster Riser and it has altered my bike riding position vey nicely. I like it. I also got the two extended bolts for a ram mount.
