Alternative risers for my V85 TT

(1/4) > >>

LuftGansa:

Fellas, I don't like . the idea of high euro prices for a set of risers with the corresponding expensive shipping.  A fellow on fb mentioned that I could use +1” risers for fat bars found on Amazonfor the TT. 

Any thoughts from my Guzista famiglia?

I bought these two weeks ago for $15. delivered with tax. As always search for a better deal from Alli. They fit perfectly and look great. All the others this size need the holes drilled a bit because Guzzi used an odd size. I have the high buck Heli bar one on my other V85 and I like this one better because you can still reach the key OK. With the Heli it's burried.

I also put on this keyless gas cap. The three mounting screws are too short, so I used the original ones. I will try to find a better match someday.

The link doesn't come up but it's for an Aprilia RS660. Just check the outside dia to make sure it's the same. There are a ton of MFG's listing them. I paid $25 to my door.

I bought a pair of Rox Barback risers from another member here that had them on his v85.  The result for me was insufficient slack in clutch cable, etc. without doing some other mods (cover panels at steering head, etc.).  Maybe I could have done more by removing the tank and more thoroughly inspect cable routing to determine if there was in fact a few inches more to play with to facilitate riser installation without stressing cables & wiring but I didn't.  So, I ended up rotating the bars back to me a few degrees and so far it is acceptable.  I may try to revisit the bar riser installation if I end up removing the tank for whatever maintenance reason.

Thanks for the insight guys, I think I'll run with what you said.   Keep sending good ideas my way.

Hey Vagrant, could you send me a couple of photos of those risers on your bike?
