Apr 2016 Renton | Handlebar Risers
Anybody know where I can find some LOW risers? Everything I can find is 3/4" or more. I like where my aftermarket bars sit, I just need about 1/4" of rise to get the right angle on my clutch lever. The more I ride it, the more I realize that my left wrist is not in a good place. The clutch switch on the bottom of the perch is pressed hard into the top triple, so it can't rotate any farther.

Apex, Woodcraft, Helibar. No point telling us what bike you have I guess... |

Washers? If the angle is wrong on your clutch lever are you sure you need to raise the bars, or can you just change the lever angle? |

Like many bikes, the lower handlebar clamp is integrated into the top triple. I need something that fills a gap in the lower clamp and moves the mounting point for the top clamp. There are many risers available, but they are all over 3/4" taller. I don't want that much rise, just a little more wiggle room for the clutch. I have the clutch perch rotated around the bar as far as it can before it hits the triple clamp. There is an in/out adjustment for clutch reach from the grip, but that's not where I need additional room. The current angle is putting a kink in my wrist that I can't eliminate without putting my elbow on my knee. That's not a problem if I'm tucked down with my chest on the tank, but that's not a good position for commuting on this bike. ![]() ![]() Edited by HalcyonSon on May 31st 2018 at 02:26 PM |

Maybe a set of 7/8" bars with a different bend? Look at dirt bars, they are pretty well documented on rise and pullback. A CR low bend has a pretty low rise.

Ok, so the brake side angle is ok for braking but that angle doesn't work for your clutch hand? I would think anything that hurt one hand would hurt the other, unless covering the lever changes your grip position that much. It looks pretty spot on but double check how well the handle bar is centered. Maybe it's slightly to the right and pulling the left side in to catch. Can you get the lever assembly to the left anymore to clear? Looks like you might have about a 1/4". |

Have you considered contacting a local machine shop to either custom fabricate risers or modify some that are slightly too tall?

Will flipping the bars help? Looks similar to the M-bars I used to have on my Bonnie. A tiny amount of drop that was nice for track days. But flip them over and it became a tiny amount of rise that was great for touring.

I have an idea that I might be able to make something with a little dremel and hammer work. Grainger carries 1/4" x 3/4" x 72" sticks for $5. https://www.grainger.com/product/GRA...ar-Stock-2EZA3 |
