I installed footpeg lowering kit a few weeks ago, that sure relaxed my knees (60yo). Risers may be next... Thank you for the straight forward video on how to install them....
Badabing bada boom! Did this to my bike a year ago, big difference for me, still it would be nice to have the handlebar a bit closer to me, but to get that you need to go with Helibars, and way more hassle.
I tried those 1” blocks with my first FJR , I didn’t think they made much difference , I have just fitted a Helibar Riser to my new FJR , yes a bit more mucking around but I really like the improvement
I just swapped my FJR1300 for a BMW R1250GS because of the sitting position, tried the risers but didnt like them. I advice you do the same and swap your FJR for a GS, then your upcoming videos will match my type of motorcycle 🙂 You have delivered a lot of knowledge and maintenenance-pleasure to me in the past, thanks for that 👍
Good video as usual.I bought a cheap Riser block kit like that a few years back from China and the locating roll pins did not align well on one of them. As a result I bailed on the install. However I did not take out the wire harness/ stud mechanism and then use the hammer for persuasion.👍
I got similar risers but with a slight pullback, also available from many different suppliers/manufacturers and fairly cheap, for those who want the bars further back than original :)
Hi. Thanks for the video. Do you notice any difference in hand protection from the fairing. It normally moves the wind around my hands, does this change when they are an inch higher?
Excellent video as always. Glad to see you're back.

I already scraped the feelers off my pegs, no way I’ll lower them lol I wouldn’t mind a forward set for interstates though
How do they look like? Could you please send a link to the site where you bought it?
Obsession videos FTW!!!
Nice to see you back!
Glad you're back and ok. Greetings from Norway 🇳🇴
Glad to c u back!!
Thank you!
Pleased to see you back
Thanks!
Good seeing you Bryan. I have a similar riser kit on my BMW R1200RT, and they really help for long days in the saddle. So do feet forward pegs.
Great seeing a new FJR video. Thanks Bryan!
You bet!
Awesome vid, man. Good to see you making videos. 👍🙏
More to come!
Easy and cost effective
Thank you again !
You bet!

Well, it's only an inch. They aren't supposed to make a big difference ;) But they are almost free so definitely worth a try.
Welcome back!!

Not at all
Glad to see your videos again. Do you still have your FZ-09?
No, I sold it a couple years ago, I got the 'small bike' out of my system for now :)
Well done. How tall are you by the way?

@@TwoWheelObsession I see. Are you using the higher position of the seat?

What seat you have ?
LAAM
Can you reactivate the link for the 2016 slipper clutch parts?
I'll see if I have it archived somewhere. The site was lost in a crash months ago and is gone.
