Title: SW-Motech Handlebar Risers
Post by: SteveM on September 09, 2008, 04:06:34 PM
Although the riding position on my stock '05 GS500E is reasonable I still felt it placed a bit too much of a strain on my wrists, back and neck. In order to relieve the pressure, I ordered a set of SW-Motech handlebar riser from Twisted Throttle. The risers arrived yesterday and I installed them after work tonight. They went on without a problem and I have to say that they look great. The riding position is a bit more upright as these risers have 1" of rise and 1" of pullback. It's a bit cold tonight for a ride but I'll take her out for a spin and report back on the riding position. For now, here are a few pictures.
