The risers come in two sizes 35mm and 65mm heights respectively. The height is straight up from the stock location and the setback is straight back from the stock location. 35mm riser-20mm setback, 65mm riser-22mm setback. We now offer the risers to fit the current stock bars: 7/8" for the BMW R1100/1150GS, and the 1 1/2" on the BMW R1200GS (04-07) We have 65mm risers coming shorlty for the . The risers come unfinished (except for some left over top clamps that are highly polished) and of course being made from aluminum they are easy to customize to whatever color you want.

Reviews from testers:

From Greg: Want to make a good bike better??????? You just have to try Andrew's Riser/Bar setup as soon as they become available. I have tested his setups for about 1100 miles as in both the 35 mm and 65 mm flavors with a Renthal Fat Bar. Testing was done on an 04 Adventure without any modifications except the seat which is the Sargent standard height. For what its worth, I am about 5'11" 215lbs. with an approximately 32" arm length.

Below are my observations:

As these were beta pieces the machining, as one would expect, was a little rough. However, the important issues such as fit, nice beveled/round edges, hardware and design are obviously top-rate. Install is as promised a 10 minute job (had fat bars installed already, just changed out the risers) well actually a little more when you factor in some rather minute tweaking. Also, there is absolutely no rerouting of cables necessary even when using the 65 mm flavor.

I first tried the 35 mm version riding about 300 miles in a mix of city stop & go as well as uninterrupted highway use, specifically Natchez Trace Parkway. Because I am a bit short-armed and have a serious neck problem I found these a bit too short. That being said I found, and it may well be my imagination, but it seemed that the bike reacted quicker or perhaps seemed smoother through turns with the lower risers when compared with the stock bars. Further, it should be emphasized, that the "too-short" comment may well be function of my neck problem so I for that matter the 35 mm are no for me. It should also be noted that there is virtually no vibration when compared to the standard bars and I believe less than I experienced with a previous set of custom risers/handlebars.

Next up were the 65 mm risers with the same bars and as discussed above everything lines up perfectly. Also, it should be noted that the hardware is of high quality, clean threads on both the screws and the risers all very nice and smooth.

I completed about 800 miles with most of the mileage in stop & go city traffic which I believe is much more difficult at least on my neck/shoulder area than longer-distance rides. I did manage to slip in some day trips again mostly on the Natchez Trace Parkway in order to maintain some consistency. Right away I found that this setup was absolutely perfect. My hands fell just right on the grips. The "feel" into turns as I described with the 35 mm risers was slightly different (I was of course looking for differences) certainly not bad just different. Maybe, it was the comfort factor that made the handling different, perhaps I was more relaxed because of I certainly felt much better on the bike. I do feel that I am now a bit more aggressive with these risers and again I think it is because they are the greatly increased comfort eliminates distraction. Additionally, there is only the lightest bit of vibration reaching my hands (no gloves by the way) and I can only attribute that to a lighter grip because as I earlier my hands just fall onto the bars. No need for the death grip.

Did I mention that I was incredibly comfortable?

Regardless of the risers you end up with a fantastic feature that Andrew included are the 4, 3/8" holes. Using Ram mounts I was able to mount both my GPS (Garmin 2610) and either Roady2 or Escort 8500. What a fantastic idea as it will save you quite a bit if you opt for some of the expensive mounting solutions. Further, there was minimal sight line interference over the 2610 to the instrument panel. The idiot lights at the bottom are the only things obscured and only partially, i.e., less than 1/2.

Obviously, I am thrilled with the fit offered by the 65 mm risers. Finally, after a more than a year of screwing around trying to get comfortable this bike is now what everyone says it is fantastic......... If I may paraphrase that overused line by Charlton Heston, "Fekete will have to pry these risers out of my lifeless or bikeless hands if he ever expects to see them back."

Anyway, run don't walk, hand deliver the money, don't mail, PayPal whatever if you must threaten bodily harm to Fekete you just have to get these risers.

I took a 1 week vacation (no bike) and during that time I had the 65 mm risers polished, I guess you just can't take the chrome away from a former HD guy and they look fantastic. The less than perfect finish noted above is now nearly perfect. I would love to post some pics but I am clueless as to how to get that done. So it you want to see what they look like raw and/or polished with some of the pictures showing my Garmin mounted so you can see how it looks please contact Andrew.

You just have to try these. For me they created a whole new bike.
