They're about 1.25" shorter than the stock risers, and move the bar down and forward a corresponding amount. For me it really improves the riding position, and is about as low as you can possibly go without running into clearance issues with the tank and bodywork. Thx I ran Outlaw racing TH08 bars which are about 1.5" lower with more sweep in the stock clamps which worked well but my back cried foul. I now have the Renthal Street Naked bars which are approximately 1" higher than stock but with more sweep that work for me now. https://www.powersportsid.com/outlaw-racing/handlebar-mpn-th08.html?view=901131&gclid=CjwKCAiA1uKMBhAGEiwAxzvX9-qcjS4uAagVWSAqszD2TNyBIWz9uf8MW1NfIwGO8pmHlKxXBIVHuBoCtTIQAvD_BwE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporting Member piotrek Posted November 21, 2021 Supporting Member Share Posted November 21, 2021 Took one last ride of the season. Time to hang the lights on the house, throw a log in the fire, and hit the interwebs for some gift ideas... and of course I am looking forward to wrenching. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member 2and3cylinders Posted November 22, 2021 Premium Member Share Posted November 22, 2021 Congrats but you couldn't find a non-Cali model without all its emission stuff that adds cost, complications and weight, and cuts power? 😱 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ho Ho Hope for early spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very green , often wet , vastly different to the desert here in North Nevada 😎🤠 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member 2and3cylinders Posted November 23, 2021 Premium Member Share Posted November 23, 2021 You're kind of in the middle of nowhere, though not too far at least from Lake Tahoe. What the heck do you do for gas money and suds? I recall cutting through some pea soup pogonip on 80 one winter. And Gote Flats glows at night... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
