jerryb,
yeah i think i would find thruxton bar set up, pretty hard on the wrists too, but your clubmans, look ok too me, or is it your so happy with current ones you wouldnt change, clubmans look to have a nice shape.
i rushed in to order the risers, after my first long trip, after my hands mostly and a little in my wrists hurt. but have kinda gotten used to it. thought the small rise and inch less forward lean would be good. i do really like them now too and agree on the position of your back feels good. still when the risers get here keen to try them out. been over 2 months waiting. i didnt realise risers were needed to avoid hitting the tank. i think the distance in middle to bends, 9.25inch, then 10.62inch to end of bar, mostly middle part must avoid the tank. yeah your right about the brake lines, not nessecary really. i dont think it looks that special either, black looks fine. perhaps in other situations and setups, cosmetically they would be worth the effort.
i bouhg tmy bike from a dealer, would have liked to have bought it of the guy who owned it, and be able to ask questions of why he made some of the changes he did. etc
