Cheap/Crappy Bar Risers


Recommended Posts

Well, I'm about 6'3 and it's not very comfortable leaning down/forward so far to reach the bars. I started out using aluminum to make some better risers but I never got it done. So I had these laying around that I milled myself. They are just about 1 1/2" x 1" x 2" I think. Then took off a clamp on the bars and marked the centers on the blocks with a punch. Threw it on a drill press and drilled the holes. The bolts are 4" long. I also threw the nuts and washers in there to make it that much higher. It's SO much more comfortable riding like this. Instead of arms leaning down/forward they are closer to straight across. I find it easier to control while wheelying or jumping also.

 

Note: It's also easier to bend the bolts if you crash or roll it sideways and the bars hit the ground.

See. That's what I was gonna be making with the aluminum. Except mine was gonna be quite a bit different. Although I never got around to making them...These work rather well and I think I'm just gonna stick with it til I maybe buy some kind of riser or something.
