Adventure bar risers

Hi, just fitted these to my adventure and was so chuffed with the difference I thought I had to share it with you all.

eBay Link - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/KTM-ADVENTURE-SM-950-990-LC8-HANDLEBAR-RISER-34MM-KIT_W0QQitemZ220308930861QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item2 20308930861&_trksid=p3911.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A13 01%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318#ebayph otohosting

the bike is so much more comfortable and even seems to handle a bit better, feels lighter somehow.

the guy make them himself so you can get any size you want.

Chad , those large KTM decals you've got - under the 990efi - where did you get them ?? I've got small ones and I've seen the HOOOOOOGE ones for van sides , but can't find anything that size you've got.

Re: Adventure bar risers

Everytime I see Chad's KTM, I think about getting one...

Then I remember all the unspeakable torture my missus would inflict on me...

And I still want one...

The wounds your missus would inflict would heal to scar tissue in time - but the KTM would be fresh for ever - go do it !! I should have given you a wee shot of mine when you were over - I never thought ??
That would have had you - hook, line and sinker ......... ask Chad he is one of my victims and in turn he has corrupted other innocents. that is how we work , it's part of the KTM agreement - buy one, hook another ten customers !!!!!!

Seriously though !! I have absolutely no regrets about the KTM after a biking lifetime, 32 years of (almost) total loyalty to Mr Honda.

Yes they would heal over time, however I don't know if they'd be able to re-attach my head...

Don't worry about it, I'm kinda glad I didn't try your ADV, because I would be hooked. I do really like my Tiger, and will hang onto it for at least another year (unless I win the lottery).

With the possibility of my better half moving to the UK, I need it for the two up capabilities. Either that or buy her a car...

The KTM is on my next bike list, at the #1 spot! My little brother is thinking about changing bikes, and he loves the KTM. I think he's putting his kidney up on ebay soon
