    handle bar risers?

    I was going to put some dirt bike bars on my bike this past weekend but when I went to put them on they hit the fork caps or top of the forks. i know i could raise the forks up but I like the stance it has now. So my plan is to get some risers but not sure which ones will fit.

    will those?
    thanks

    should work, may have to use different bolts than what comes with the risers.

      Measure the bolt hole spacing. Tis the only way to know for sure if things will work.

        Should be a standard size for 7/8 bars

          So do hondas, kawis, yamahas and suzukis all have the same "Center to Center" bolt distance?

            I've got these on my bike. They're from GenMar, obviously.
            They make many different styles and sizes. Well made and worth the price.

                i know i got slab yokes but i put dirt bike bars on my GS, they are so comfortable and give good leverage through the twisties.....

                          $75 for risers seems like a rip-off

                            the risers had to fit a honda 954 triple tree, they are not mounted on a flat surface they are a double angle. the ones that you can order off of a company was 150.00 so i got a good deal.

                              I'd still measure before bidding.
