Jenks are about $20 less but don't claim to move the bars back..only higher. Gen-mar claims a 3/4" pull back as well.

Can anyone provide experience with either?

thx,

I put Jenks risers on my bike. They are built straight so when you install them it sets the bars back a little. That is because of the angle of the dangle. I suspect they will both set the bars back. Steering head angle. They are probably both made by Jenks anyway.

I too have Jenks, superb craftmanship and guess what they also move the bars back, this being a result of the head clamp being angled itself. I guess these both are the same. There was a previous thread that claimed that the GenMar did not match the existing clamp leaving a overlap. see pic

The Jenks are a perfect match both in size and finish. Save the money and buy Jenks IMHO. Incidently was delivered within 18hrs of ordering (in the UK), unlike GenMar originally ordered through NB but not arrived, or even been dispatched after 18 days. Alleged out of stock despite my having confirmed availibility at time of placing order.

No grumbles though a good result for me.
