Flagman Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Hello all much more knowledgeable than I. I love my 2004 R1150RT but after years of riding 50 miles til my butt falls off I’ve been trying to improve my comfort. Currently my wrists angle down from my elbows and my hands get numb and uncomfortable. My harley allows my hands to angle up from my elbows and it feels great. So I thought risers would help? I tried to measure about an inch up and back to mimic how risers would change my position but it doesn’t seem to change things that much. Any thoughts? Also, I don’t want any changes to be so extreme that I have to change out the cables. Also, I have noticed the $30-$50 aluminum risers on ebay from names such as cnc etc seem about the same as the expensive models. What really is the difference? any thoughts? Link to comment

Cables have plenty of room and for me they put me in a good upright riding position with the seat at the highest position. Link to comment
Wayne Johnson Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 I have a set also from a 2002 1150. They do make a pretty big change in the riding position. $25 plus shipping Link to comment
