| | Posted : 22 Jun 2013 - 04:25 Post title : Adjustable handlebar risers | | | I've been looking on getting extended risers for my Storm, however, I'm not entirely sure what size get since I really dont know what would be the most optimal position for riding.
I tend to move alot on the seat. I feel that at times I whish I would have the handlebars pulled back about an extra 1.5 inches and up an inch.
While searching on ebay, I came across these adjustable risers that seem to allow one to tweak the handlebar positon to your "backs" content.

Has anyone have any experience with these? Any other recommendations for the above issue?

Following beast1700 riser idea, I shopped around for replacement risers. I came about these spacers that match my Storms matt black look and seems that no changes to the brake lines are required. They are also cheaper than my adjustable risers. I'll be reporting back after I get install them:

It has made a great difference in my riding comfort! I don't hav to lean forward any more! They look pretty good, too. In fact, unless you "really" look, you won't even see them. The fit and finish are great.
Cheers!
