Here we see what it looks like from the side before and after. It's noticable the extra height that is given to the bars.

As we look from another angle, it becomes very apparent. Nevermind the scratched up top clamp, I got it like that :(

Not quite as obvious to the blurry eye of the camera (no, that's not the DT's I have, although not as steady as they used to be, them hands). But the new gap is still noticable from above. Ooh, and looky, my speakers aren't as blocked by the bars anymore.

So have a look see at the rest of these pictures for some more insight into the parts involved in what you get, and what it takes to install them. Click on these small pics for a full size image in a new window.

Oops, that's never a good thing. I got it in a few threads by hand, then it stopped, put a little pressure on with a ratchet, hmm that's not moving nice. Try to back it out, damnit, it's not moving very easily. Yup, had to go running around trying to find a tap set at the last minute. Grr. Thankfully I was finally able to make something work, got the hole and bolt cleaned up and back together. Just barely in time to make it to work.

Final notes: If you've already got a corbin but something still isn't quite right, these bar risers are the answer. I am sitting almost flat on the corbin as it almost seems it was designed to be sat on.

Yes, it does affect the handling a bit. It seems a little more effort is needed to push it into a corner. Almost makes me wish I had a 60 profile tire back on. But I'll live. I've only got like 5 miles to work after installing them, I'm sure I'll add to this as I experience them more.

This also would be a good time or excuse to lower the front end about an inch as well. As you can see, there is a spacer provided to take the place of the fork tube inside the clipon, so there is a sizable gap that it takes up. You could instead pull the fork through to where it sits flush inside the clipon like stock. I may try this sometime just to experience it and see if I like it. I do have a bit of a rear sagging problem with my worn out rear shock (in which keeping the preload down tames it a bit) that lowering the front end might even it out a bit. Also allowing it to turn in a little quicker. Just an idea.
