GEN1 risers?

[vmax2extreme]

I just upgraded my handlebars to superbike bars, but I want to use a riser also. Has anyone purchased this one linked below of ebay? Its .25" bigger than the Genmar one, but at a reasonable price too.

I'm open to other riser options, but I want it to look esthetically correct too.

Thanks in advance,

Mike

I have it and really like it, but if I had to do it again I think I would go with this one simply because it's adjustable.

I've seen that one before on there too, but esthetically not sure how awkward it would look. Anyone have pics of it installed on vmax?

Thanks...

Ok UFO has some, but its the same, just overpriced from him. Not sure how I like the looks though. Here are the pics I found:

But they are "Premium" adjustable bar risers, not just every day run of the mill adjustable bar risers. :rofl_200:

I meant that he, UFO, has the pictures and if I wanted them, I would get them off ebay as misiek93 stated.

Im not that gullible........

Yes, my riding buddy that has an '05 too uses the GENMAR riser and likes them. The one in my first thread post would work just like the GENMAR, just .25" longer which you might like. SHORTY!!! :red ass:

I bought the one from eBay sold by a company call luv the hub it's the 1.25" riser and im using stock bars and it made a world of difference. That was one of my biggest dislikes of the bike that it had too much lean up to reach the stock bars. I had a V65 and really liked the higher bars on that bike but not sure how they'd look on a Max. But believe me, search the seller Luv the Hub and check them out for yourself. That other riser that UFO sells looks too much like an add on contraption for me but that's just my opinion. But the extra .25" actually does make a noticeable difference my buddy had a genmar 1" and I like mine way better. Sean also has that 2" riser on his used muscle parts thread but not sure how it looks on a bike and he says it creates a gap above the headlight somehow but not sure what he means. But the one I have fits perfect and looks like its made exactly for our bikes.

Thanks for your input. Did it come with the 4 longer bolts to accommodate the riser or did you have to hit the local hardware store to get them?

When I got mine it did come with the longer bolts. I didn't have to buy anything extra. I would check with the seller from your first post, although getting longer bolts seperately is not a big deal it's nice to get everything you need all at the same time :biglaugh:

Did you see these?

Yes, I have seen this and it might be too much a rise for me.

Thanks although!

Yes, its still that price plus shipping...not a bad deal and I think I'm leaning for this to keep the basic stock look.

Thanks all for your help!

To me, I'd just chrome the entire rise if need be......

We sell the Genmar units too! I think it's around $75 or so. They have black and the semi polished (similar to stock) units. We have chromed them with good results. they do come with the longer bolts!
