Question handle bar risers

Has anyone installed the Genmar handlebar risers and if so did they make a difference?

I have been using them for over a year and love them. I had installed new brake lines previously so I don't know how stock lines will work with the bars moving up. Pushes the bars up about 2 inches and back about 1/2 to 1 inch. Also allows you to turn the clip ons a little from stock so you can angle them in or out a little more than stock. Easy installation.

HawkRider98,
Thanks for your input. I also see that you installed their mirror extenders; Did they give you a better rear view?

The mirror extenders work very well. No moving around or having to tuck my elbows in to see. Someone has extenders on Ebay that are much less expensive and look and do the same thing. I think I remember them posting up here a while back.

I tried the Gen Mar's and they didn't do enough for me, so I sold them off and got a set of Heli-bars. Found them MUCH More comfortable. But also, much more expensive.

Any Photos?

Do any of you have photos of these?

I sure would like to see how much different they are and which may suit me.
