Risers for California Stone?
« on: August 12, 2024, 03:27:58 PM »
Hey all, I’ve read through some of the threads on this with no definitive answer per se but what risers would work on my Cali Stone bars with 30mm diameter?  I guess this translates into 1 1/8” bars and lots of those risers on Amazon but I’ve read a few posts that seem to indicate the clamping holes are not a kind of standard distance and would not work with just general 1 1/8” risers?  Any input?  I know some others have swapped out for the more longhorn bars but I’d rather not change bars just yet.

They are 1 3/16" or 1.1811". IIRR I used a set of Rox Risers that were 1 1/8". I was using them to bring the bars back to me a bit, not up.

I seem to remember having to use strips of a beer can as shims on the riser end that goes into the Guzzi clamp. Then I had to open up the handlebar end by sanding it with a dremel until it fit.

I believe these are 1/2 inch drive 15/16 Craftsman sockets from 20 years ago. Still working with multiple bar varieties.


for some reason the picture is not posting, maybe I hit my limit, but longer bolts and sockets to space, regular or deepwell.

I bought some 1/2" drive sockets at Autozone, and a couple of longer bolts at the hardware store.  Instant risers to the height I wanted.

I fitted my 02 Stone with a set of California 1400 touring bars and a set of off set risers of 1” up and 1” back.
It what is a perfect combination for me?
I had to have a set of spacers milled due to the size of the 1400 bars odd size.
