    I fitted a set of Moto CNC risers. You are right the top caps cannot be unscrewed like the ones you have. If I want to make a fork adjustment I have to loosen the handlebar clamp to remove the caps. I don't think it is a big problem as my forks are set up how I like them so won't need to get at them regularly. As regards the ride the risers makes it more comfortable on the wrists so well worth the money. As always a really good video, cheers

    I have similar risers fitted, it's amazing the difference that small bit of a rise makes.

    I fitted a set of Moto CNC ones about a month ago and as you say, the comfort difference is night and day. I commute daily, 1/2 hr each way in traffic all the way and these have helped for sure.

    I fitted a set of these on my vfr last year, as I was getting sore wrists after more than an hour. I couldn't feel any difference in my riding position, but I sure as hell noticed the comfort benefit on long rides

    BUY THIS!!
    Here is why.
    I order this part. took 10 days to US was wrong color they shipped silver i ordered black. I sent email, expressing my dissatisfaction.
    I got a return EMAIL!!!!
    They stated they realized the mistake and there is the correct part on its way... THYEY CORRECTED IT!!! Before i sent the email.
    I did check my email and noticed one from them stating the error.
    Bottom line.
    This is a usuable product. And a respectable company.

    Hi Kev fitted bar risers and foot peg lowering kit , it has helped but of a age that is in the last quarter of the speedometer it is what it is

    I own a 2001 and have fitted AMB straight bar. Had to buy longer throttle cables. Makes big difference. Also I dropped front end down about 1/4 inch maybe bit more made handling much sharper.

    I have a set of Motocnc the top caps don't unscrew they are gripped by the pinch bars. Takes about a min to get them off so no biggie. I found the machining tolerance on the Motocnc just that bit better than the genmar

    Is it an issue that with these risers the clamping ring for the bar has less height of fork to clamp to? This would be my concern.

    • @KevsShed
      @KevsShed  4 роки тому +1

      That seems to be a recurring theme with this style of bar riser yet I have found no complaint regarding safety or failure anywhere so I can only assume that means they do the job 👍🏻

      Yes you have lost c. 50% of the engagement on the bars on the fork tube; the principle from an engineering perspective is not great. Agree though, never heard of any problems in practice but still a bit of a concern.

      No as the spacer allows clamping to be of a force as high as before the spacer was fitted.

    Hey Kev..
    I added the moto CNC rises and found they improved comfort but not as much as I like.. I have now purchased helibars and was wondering if I could just put them on top the risers..I have searched internet but couldn't find anything and thought you might have an opinion lol.. thanks..😊
