tomtom385 Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 Just fitted 35mm bar risers to the Beta. Wow what a transformation, the riding position is great for an old codger like me with short arms. feel alot more confident with most of my weight on the pegs and less on the bars. Far less tiring, can recommend this mod to anyone with a back twinge. tom, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
des Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 you can also but bars which have different risers height built in, to avoid fitting risers, jitsie make three or four different bars with rises made into them 3,4,5, inch maybe more just fitted some myself made a big improvement, and cheaper to do....

Des, i must concur with you, how much are Jitsie bars, i paid 30 quid for the risers. was going to get new bars for the sherpa but would need ape hangers to get over the foot peg height. Ape hangers eh now theres a blast from the past. Tom, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myzeneye Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 im just looking at some taller bars too.... im not sure how to measure the bars that are already on my bike they apear to be the standard bars that came on the 03 model sherco.... does anyone know what rise they will be... the tallest ive seen are renthals 6" rise bars.....i may go for these as they are a cheaper option then the fat bar set up.... what sort of rise do the fat bars and their risers give you in comparrison to these standards renthal 6" bars ? more ? or is 6" of rise mahoosive....hahaha im guessing because im tall, the higher bar lift may take the wieght/pressure off my wrists a little and allow me to ride more upright... ? will having massively tall bars and being more upright have me at any great dissadvantage where riding balance etc is concerned... i dont want to swap riding comfort for control if that is an issue... any advice is welcome..... thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
