Well I'm with you, curious as to how good they are. One of my friends has the same bike with risers on, so hoping to swap bikes soon to see what difference it makes. When we get round to it will let you know what I think. Damned expensive for the risers though. Edited by nagasaki, Oct 12 2011, 10:52 PM.

Funny thing is my mate is wanting to try mine out as he thinks that he may be more comfortable without the risers. Watch this space.

Went out for a longer run on Sunday, we swapped bikes. I would have to say that in my opinion they were a slight improvement over the standard bars, so will be looking at fitting a set, maybe even off my mate if he decides doesn't want them. Strange how the 2 bikes the same seem so different to ride, tyres apart that is. Edited by nagasaki, Nov 7 2011, 11:22 PM.
