Bar risers

I have just bought a 1999 VFR800 and find the bars too low. I get sore neck. Does anyone have any comments as to which bar risers are best? I have fond GenMar and Heli ion the net. Are ther others?

I have helibars ordered. Just tried the Genmar risers but want to be up a little higher. Will be selling the Genmars. Both are easy to install. Genmars much easier and cheaper.

 

Hmmm so Genmars are lower than helibars?

 

Hey..

A bar riser is a spacer which fits under the O.E bars and raises them. Helibars are complete new bars which are higher and more swept back. Hence the huge price difference.

Although I am somewhat biased, I found helibars completely ruin the handling, although the roads I ride aren't straight for mile after mile...

Hi I have genmars and find they work very well. Easy fitted and occassionally available on various forums/ebay at approximately half price. I particularly liked that I could put the bars out slightly rather than sweep them back.

Got these ones from Ebay, UK vendor who obviously sold dozens of them with loads of very good feed-backs. The finish is impressive, anodized alu, it's sturdy and takes 10/15 minutes tops installation time the 1st time you install them. The slight adjustment - 20mm- changes a lot in terms of comfort: no pressure on wrists at all, but still very easy to get into a more sport attitude in order to push the motorcycle when wanted. Fits fine: no need for longer cables or so, does not bump in tank or fairings. Pretty good buy for me.
