Sprint GT Bar Risers

I went for MOTO-CNC in the end based on availability.

I fitted them in 10 minutes and will wait for some better weather to try them out. Observation wise, they are well made but for me the plastic caps don’t fit (no big deal) and the l/h switch gear nudges the fairing on opposite lock so I will need to do some adjusting.

So far so good a thanks for the tips.

 

I added the 1" risers to my '11 Sprint GT, and they are a nice adjustment; less weight on my hands. I had to roll the clutch lever down a bit to avoid the faring, and reroute the clutch cable over the center of the handlebars to eliminate the cable tension. Both sides just touch the faring at full lock, but it is not an issue. I also modified some Buell drop foot pegs to give myself more leg room on the bike (descriptions and photos on a different thread on this forum). I found that both improved my riding position. I also added a Zero Gravity touring windshield to give a bit more wind protection (and the old one was pitted and no longer very clear after 42k miles). Modifications that worked for me.

 

Would love to be able to put those risers on my 2016 Sprint GT, but I'm waiting for Moto-CNC to ship my order which was placed on 3 October.
Difficult to get any response from them too, which appears to be par for the course at the moment, according to the Google reviews.
Any alternative makes that would do the job?

 

Unfortunately, these came (loose) with the bike when I bought it in 2018. No branding is visible on them at all. Good luck with a search or your evolving patience!

 

I think patience has run out now.
Just had a response saying they're still in production and they will update me when they know more.
They were "in production" on 9th November, so I can only assume that they don't have at least one of control, stock or intention.
If I can get the pattern, I know enough places with CNC machines.

 

Ended up buying a pair from another company on EBay at half of the Moto-CNC price. That company shares its business address with a known quality CNC specialist, so I'm happy. Look decent quality and have a machined filler over the pre-load adjusters instead of the poorly-fitting black plastic plug.
Just need to find a way to reduce the tension in the clutch cable.
Any best practice suggestions from those who have already done this mod?
Thanks

For the clutch cable, you can order a new one with some extra length from Venhill https://www.venhill.co.uk/
It will cost you around 40£ and as I'm using one since a couple of months, the quality is very good.

 

I rerouted the clutch cable over the center of the handlebars, and it works well. There's a bit of an encroachment when I insert the key, but it is momentary. PS. I love the color of your bike! Sadly, I ended up with two gray ones (Sprint GT and Trophy SE, which is "Lunar Blue", aka light gray).

 

Thanks for the suggestions.
Had a go at rerouting behind the ignition switch. Seems to be free enough.
I did look at rotating the switch cluster a tad to avoid the clash with the daring, but the heated grip cable pretty well fixed that in place, so I'll live with that. Now an excuse to check clutch adjustment is OK having disconnected the cable, since it's not raining!
