Bar Risers

Hey Guys

Need some advice if possible?

I am looking at either getting a 2002 Daytona which has 35.000 Miles in a nice colour, or a 2003 Sprint RS with only 23.000 Miles same price (but in yellow!)

So firstly which One would you choose, secondly I have a bad neck/back, and the Triumph dealer in Plymouth has told me I can just get 2 risers which will bolt into place between the yolk and the clip on's already on the bike? I am not a tech head when it comes to this, so is it that easy? 4 bolts, lift them up, drop in the 2 risers blocks, and bolt back together?

Any advice will be really appreciated.

Thanks :smile:

Quick Update

looking at the bike pics again, I think its going to be more of a job then I first thought! as if I left the bars up, there wont be enough room to fit the bars back on with the block risers? (Pic attached)

Thanks guys.

I have opted on the Daytona simply as I liked the look more, so I guess the question changes to how to raise the Daytona bars a little lol, I have noticed that you cant lift them too far due to the fairing, but even half inch would help, my neck/back issue's are not extream, but made riding my Ducati 1000ss a pain! saying that from what I saw today the Daytona is not as low as the Ducati, so hope I haven't made a balls up buying the Daytona?

The picture here is the Daytona I went to see today, but not the One I have purchased (waiting for delivery) it has had a lift of the bars, and suited me really well, so can you tell what was done? and where can I get what ever was done here for mine? is it an easy job to fit, or a garage job? (I have little tools, and even less knowledge)

 

Thanks ColLamb

But the ST or the Tiger is not for me, as I said the back/neck issue is not extream and when I sat on the Blue Daytona (which has risers) the position was comfy for me, The Ducati is IMHO far lower on the bars, and thats just too much for me, but I believe the Daytona with risers will be OK.

Essentially I used to get a sore neck after riding even 20 Miles on the Ducati, simply due to having to look up from the low bars to see down the road, so if I can raise the bars on the Daytona a bit, should be ok for me.

So still looking for anyone to advice on where to get the set up on the picture above, costs, and work involved?

Thanks for the replies so far guys

 

Quick Update

Found this thread on another forum which seems like a very cool idea for me, and just the cost of half hours labour at my local garage i imagine?

Anyone tried this?

Hi Dave

I actually saw that, and tried to put the link on here, but its waiting for the "Moderator" to allow it lol.

Yeah seems like a nice cheap fix, I asked the guy who is selling me the bike if he can do it prior to delivery of the bike, but he told me the bars already go "out and up" so maybe somebody already did it?

If not then I will take it to my local garage and ask them to do the swap, I just done have the tools to do it myself ;-)

 

Well after a couple of days of looking at various vids, I have found SpeedyMoto could be the ones for me, but cant seem to find a UK supplier? any ideas???

 

UPDATE

I found a UK company called TopYokes Home - Cool n Comfy: Superbike performance - Touring comfort.

They do a nice kit for around 135.00 GBP for the Daytona, but looks like I need to source the actual bars myself, so can anyone advice on the rise? I would guess a Medium would be fine, but thats around 85mm so I am unsure how far we can raise the Daytona riding position without getting fairing issue's.

Cheers

 

Thanks :wink:
