Will the riser shown at this link work with the standard bars on a 2002 GS500E?

Yep, they also make one that is 1" up  and 1 3/8" back for the GS.

I installed a set of these just before my BC trip.  Because of the angles involved, the 1 3/8" offset cancels some of the 1" vertical rise, but the bars are definitely brought closer to you:


Also, the fork caps are no longer covered by the handlebars, if that's significant to anyone.  In fact, I finally installed the risers because I pulled the handlebars to install Progressive springs.  Maybe if I had pulled them back when I got the risers, I would have put the springs in a long time ago!

Hey,  Will those work on a 96 gs???   :lol:  I hope so, cuz they look sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, the bike in the pictures is a '99.  The '96 will be identical as far as these risers are concerned.

Maybe the better question is:  Will they for sure work on a 2001+?

work on all except 89 with clipons

If you are cheap, or just want to demo before you buy...

You can pick up a second set of bar clamps, the top part and use them as riser blocks with longer bolts.

This will give you about an inch of rise.

oooh.  Now here's a good idea. I'll think about this one.
Thanks,
