Gen1 pullback risers?

[Stephan D]

I have a wider handlebar on my '88 Gen1, but my right shoulder is killing me, I need the handlebar to get closer by an inch or two.

I was looking at some generic 3.5 or 4.5 pullback risers, but if you look at the Gen1 tree, it looks like it's very angled already, almost horizontal. In other words, its look like straight risers would already put the handlebar closer to me, and pullback risers may be counterproductive because they might almost push the handlebar down a bit.

Am I looking at this correctly? Should I get "pullback risers" to bring the handlebar closer to me, or would straight risers do a better job?

What about something like this? Not cheap, but they may allow a better degree of adjustment while using your current handlebars. $114.95

The riser blocks we sell raise the bar up about 1/2" and back about 3/4" which makes a big difference. Email me at [email protected] if I can assist.

I actually have 2 pairs of these sitting in my garage - one in silver and one in black. They were only around £20 but I'm in the UK. Happy to post to you for a few beer tokens.

Wow, thanks for the offer GBC. But I actually just bought the 1" billet/riser from Sean, and I'm going to give that a try - if I still need more pull, I'll get in touch to see if yours is still available.
Thanks!
