    Bar Risers ?

    Anyone fitted Bar risers to a Dommi ?
    I think they might help me when standing on the pegs , but how much difference would they make ?

    Re: Bar Risers ?

    Hello mate , i have the same problem riding offroad.
    I searched and found a couple of a little bit higher bar holders-toooooo expensive-(excuse my language if this is not the propriate word- i believe we r talking the same thing) , although i saw a very good result in my friends dommie trying instead of additional risers the original pair from his XRV.We're talking about a rise of 2-4 cm i believe which is ok if u have the original bar(or equivelant).
    It wasn't for mine though because i use an Afam bar and a pair of hard(metal inside) handle protectors(excuse me again) and the bar ,when turning, was finding the front fairing.
    Even with the XRV's bar handlers i believe it's not going to be comfortable riding on the street and sittin on the bike.

    I've got risers, but with an offset forwards. The bike is short enough as it was.

    Standing now works well, riding it sitting down is a bit odd at first, but I got used to it pretty quickly.

    I've found them to be quite expensive for two little lumps of metal and some screws, but that's the way it is...

    These seem to be different , pass more info , a link maybe.
    As i can see the bar while turning(the problem basicaly is when the bike is on the side stand) doesn;t meet the front mask!
    Nice job
