Okay, I liked everything about the new handlebars except that the reach was a little far for me. So, I ordered the SW Motech 30mm risers from Twistedthrottle.com.

They arrived today, and I was able to install them in about 10 minutes.



The difference is subtle but noticeable. Took it out on a quick ride through the canyons and it felt great!





Installation was a snap, except that the bolts that came with the risers were too long, and the stock TB risers would not tighten down. A quick trip to the hardware store and some $0.32 washers fixed that problem quickly (I used two washers on each bolt.)

As I said, I'd recommend this for those who think the low bars are a little too low.
