    Hello Semiold (I'm a little that way myself), I find that I could actually see more of the stock mirrors after installing the Voigt-MT risers, about 80% of the mirror surface. The 20mm Voigt-MT risers fit as advertised with no modification necessary. Greg.

    Hi Biggo. For my height (6'3" (190cm)) I can now see about 80% of the what is behind me, I have SW-Motech handguards fitted and now can only see a small portion (about 1cm) of their base. I've only been out on the bike once since installation (we are still in lockdown because of this damn virus) so I still have some fine tuning to do (mirror angle and handguard level), even that small increase in bar height has made a lot of difference. The risers also come in black and Ralph at Voigt Moto Technik was very helpful. I did think about changing the bars but was not sure how much slack was in the cabling & wires. The Voigt web site noted that there were no others changes necessary and they were right. If you decide on the risers, don't forget to mark your handlebar position relative to one of the handlebar clamps before removing the clamp and bar.

    I went a different way, I installed 20mm handlebar risers from VOIGT MOTO TECHNIK (VMT) in Germany. These CNC machined risers came with all necessary hardware (four longer bolts) and instructions (in German) and fitted straight onto the bike without having to adjust any of the wiring or hoses. They even quote the torque setting for the bolts.

    I've had to move my Puig Touring Screen up 30mm as the air stream off the top of the screen was hitting the chin of my helmet. I'm 6'3"/190cm.

    Hi Guy's, When I removed my engine bolts, they were quite tight and there was no locktite type material on them. My engine bolts are torqued to 45Nm as per the service manual. Greg.

    Replaced my ST's little screen with a Puig Touring Screen. The Puig mounting bracket replaces the OEM bracket and comes included with the screen. I have already had to move the screen up 30mm as I was a little tall for it at 6'3". It works very well.

    Hi MaximNikenGT, I used Yamaha's torque specification of 45Nm, no issues to speak of. I did put a small jack under the sump to support the engine in case it moved (as recommended by SW-Motech). I loosened each bolt and then removed and installed one bolt at a time, so the engine was always supported by three bolts.

    Not a problem, 15Nm seemed a tad low for engine mounting bolts. I've just finished putting my crash bars on. Now waiting for OEM heated grips to arrive and getting that recall done.

    Hi MaximNikenGT, I don't want to be a pain however, I bought a 2019-2020 Niken GT Service manual on-line (could not find the Standard model service manual). Page 5-13 of the manual, engine mounting bolts labelled 1 thru 4, 45Nm.

    Thanks Maxim, my instructions for the M10 bolts quotes for the left side 46Nm & for the right side 67Nm as long as it is within Yamaha's specifications. I've been unable to to find Yamaha's engine bolt torque settings on line.

    Maxim Niken & Bruno, Do you remember the torque settings you used on the crash bar mounting bolts? Regards, Greg
