Hi guys, I'm thinking of changing my handlebars with a new set with risers, anyone got any recommendations that I can look at?

Yamaha tall billet risers and a flat bar is my set up.
i think it looks the best but there is other ones that have a bit more pullback!

most people are going to think their set up is the best..i also think mine is the best. only if your tall though. im 6ft3 and this set up is very comfy and looks killer. its 14 inch tall bars on 8 inch risers. i have no clue how to put the pic on here so look in my profile. the bars sit right under my shoulders as they should.

The problem you'll face Mark, is it's not so much what you'd like to fit, but what you can find to purchase for a reasonable cost. CP Punishers, Yammi TT bars and Yammi risers seem to be the most popular with the UK mob. Might be worth posting up to see who has what lurking in their garages as some have changed setups more than once. I have the TT bars and have had no problems with them. Pics in Gallery I think

Check out the post by Doc S, he is trying to sell a set of Tall Yammi risers that he bought that are too tall for what he wants to do. He is selling at a reduce price for what they cost and will work great with a drag bar if thats what you want.

i prefer risers plus bars setup, at least you can still adjust the pitch on the bars for maximum comfort

Handlebars and risers from Thunderbike, germany. If you order these, yes they look cool...
But... If it's comfortable, it aint custom.
1) get ready to wait your shipment up to 2 months, thats how fast thunderbike is.
2) you'll have to lose the dampners from that "upper triangle" (dont know what its called in
english, but that part where the bike meets the risers) and that causes some vibrations
directly to handlebars, hence, to your arms.
But... they look cool, and I rode the Iron butt 1000 with this setup, so whats the problem
here?!?!?
