I would have created this thread as a poll, but I guess I don't have permission to do so...

Anywho:
Do you have have handlebar risers on your GS500?

1) Yes
2) No
3) No, but want them
4) No, had them, didn't like them, took them off

Yes  They are on my wife's bike.  She wanted to sit up a little straighter.

Yes, the cheap way.  A set of upper handlebar holders mounted upside down under the bars with longer screws.

I don't have them on mine. I'm on the opposite end of the spectrum. I want mine LOWER.

I think Kerry still has them, but maybe he is too humble to post his pic.



I would definitely like some. My flippers are pretty short, in a normal posture my elbows are locked  which makes for painful long trips.

The motorcycle is no longer the hobby, the skill has become the hobby.

Power does not compare to skill.  What good is power without the skill to use it?
