I have no idea about motorcycle handling there pops...I just got my first bike 2 years ago. I could assume and just do things without asking, but I figure asking will keep me from being a surprised hamburger smear on the highway. I have enough slack in the brake lines to add about an inch or 2 to the handlebars, so we'll see.
And regarding the wake and bake, it's been many years... what are we talking about? I want some of that chilli! :woohoo:
p.s. I guess I wasn't clear in my question tri...I thought that the handlebar was atached to the forks, and I wanted to raise the forks to raise the handlebar...

So instead of raising the bars an inch you'll decrease your turn radius "turn radius shim"... I got this right
The Old Man's got a point.
I already had issues with the clubman bars and the fairing restricting my turning radious that adding a shim to the stop was not going to reduce it anymore.
My hands hit the fairing at the moment when they are fully forward.
You get use to it.

if you need risers to clear your tank why not just use superbike bars?I think the risers are an elegant solution to the problem, as long as they are not goofy long. If a 1" riser will do it then that's what I will do, but I am not going to have a 3 inch on there...that would kind of defeat the purpose of the drag bars.
