Hi Everyone,
I just wanted to get a count of people who may be interested in Handlebar risers for their bandits or any other bikes with 7/8 handlebars. I bought a used set off of ebay, and I still had to pay way to much for them. They are the ones that go up and back. this is the only actual manuf. I could find that makes them, besides selling on ebay:
http://www.zianet.com/genmar/ The actual ones I bought Seem like they were made by some private machine shop or something becuase they don't look like the same ones in the picture at GENMAR's site.
I work in a machine shop and before I installed these risers, I measured them up and I think I could recreate something similar. The ones I got came off of a SV1000 they were actually pretty tight fitting on my bike, so the ones I will make. I will open up the clearence holes so they will fit a little better. Anyway I am not positive how much $ it would cost me to make them yet but I am pretty sure I can make these at a better price, and quality than ebay. They would be grit blasted then clear coated, since I do not have easy access to a place that will do anodize, and anodize would push up the $ a bit. You would have to reuse your stock Top clamp, and I would not be able to send the longer Brakline with it. I found on my bike 2004 1200s I was able to unbolt the junction block for the front brakelines attached to the forks to get the slack I needed to put the bars on. I would suggest buying the longer lines though. My junction block is just flopping around until I can fabricate a new mount higher up. Anyway how many are interested in these risers, so I know if it is worth it to make a program down in the shop.
Thanks everybody
Matt
