I hope this is ok to post.Let me know how they are if you buy them.


I offer handlebar risers for all year model FJR1300's. I have just finished and tested my first prototype for the 2006 model FJR. On the 06 model Yamaha made adjustable handlebars which made the R&D of these risers quite intensive to come up with risers that could be installed and maintain the functionality of Yamaha handlebar adjustment mechanism. Thus the reason for applying for 2 Patent Pendings on this handlebar risers. One for the riser and one concept patent of this means of attaching anything to the Yahama adjustable stud. I ask that other vendors please respect these patents.

The risers are solid aluminum, the attchment stud is solid stainless steel. Risers can be installed in less than 10 minutes and will sell for $119 in the USA which includes the risers, stud adapter, extra length bolts, and shipping. See below web site for countries outside the USA.

The pics here and on the web site are of the first prototype. They are cut with band saw and not finished. The finished product will be water jetted or CNC machined for smooth edges and powder coated to match the color of the handlebars. Risers are 1 3/8" tall. I have tested the risers and I found them to be very comfortable and effective if you find yourself riding with too much weight on your wrist. It may all be in my mind, but I find that the FJR is not as heavy steering with the risers as it is without them. I don't know how this can happen, but is probably due to the handlebars are now in a position that I am more use to steering the bike from.

I am making first production run of 20 sets of these risers. If you want a set please email me at drhines@yahoo.com and send check for $119 to the below address. First paid, first served. I expect it to take one week for production run and one week for powdercoating which should make the first risers ready for shipment around June 12th.
