New Chrome Risers, Suzuki C800 / C50

I got these today as I fancied something a little different from the standard round ones, I'm not sure how they'll fit yet with them being square and the triple tree having a cut out recess for round ones ? I'll probably grind a couple if washers square and paint them black to go between the risers and top yolk to give a visual break and hide the round recess, They're 4 inch but don't appear to be as high as the 2 inch risers and stock bar clamps but they come around an inch further back, I'll post some pics of them fitted as soon I get them on.

Looking good Sim
Get em fitted and post some more pics mate.
How much pullback on them? You do know that a ShowChrome triple tree cover would really set them off don't you.

Pull back is an inch and three quarters Dave

Ha Ha I think you tickled the Simbo with your comment Davey boy

Nice one Simbo, smart risers there bud. get them fitted you lazy bugger

These chrome risers are no more When I fitted them today they hit the clock housing on the tank at full lock, No problems with hight they just had to much pull back, I'm looking for some alternatives now.

Crickey that really is a bummer, they was purty.

Sorry to here that mate but the good thing is that you have posted your misfortune, so others will learn from your misfortune. I know that no good for you but it may save someone else

Perhaps you could put some chromed riser extenders on that may give you the clearance over the clocks? Might be tricky to find square ones...

Unfortunately Joe the cable's won't allow me to go any higher unless I start re routing them, Like you say it would be tricky finding square ones, Nice thought though They only cost £20 off Ebay so I'll just re sell them and buy some that fit next time

I just realised I nearly bought some of them a few weeks back, Phew that was lucky (for me).

Hi Sim they're the one's i have on my bike the left lock is ok but the right lock it just rest against the speedo housing but not enough to bother me!

Hi Martin, Mine was touching both sides and about quarter of an inch past the stop point ? I felt if the bike was on the lift and the wheel fell to one side it would possibly brake the speedo housing, There will be ways around it but Jo was moaning she was cold after holding the bars and bike up for an hour I quickly put the bike back together so she could go and brew up for me and warm her hands on the kettle :yright:

Sim hope you sort it they do lmprove riding position also your speedo housing looks more square than mine, next time tell Jo to wear some gloves & have a cuppa ready in the garage

I've just been in the garage measuring up (curiosity got the better of me) the distance between the top of the original clamps with 2 inch risers to the speedo housing is just over one inch, The pull back on the chrome risers is 1.5 inch with a rise of 3.5 inch from the yoke, The only way round it would be to go a further two inches higher to clear the clock, but then I'm short on cable/wires so nice shiny straight ones are on the shopping list
