Title: Risers....
Post by: Tony Nitrous on Thursday, 04 May 2017, 05:58 PM
I haven't tried swapping them over yet (so they may not fit!)
but the B-Kings risers are black, give a 65 / 70mm gap between
the bars and the yoke and are angled back a bit.

I may see if they'd fit the 1400 next time I have stuff it bits
or drop onto a cheap spare set.

(I only posted it on here because its a topic on Facebook and thought it may be of interest to someone)

Cool, let us know if they fit. Could have another buyer here.

Just realised they have a one piece top clamp.
I'll have to check the spacing compared to the 1400.
If its different it may complicate things a little.

I will have a measure of both bikes.
At a glance a little higher and further back.
Even if the spacing isn't right I have a couple of options.

Chop the center out of the top clamp or use std top clamps?

Both options, and I know someone who can mod the top yoke too.

to support Tony's idea, to share my experience:

I'm not tall, just 175cm, and after Installing Renthal 758 (ultra low) with standart risers, handlebar became to far away from me.
So I get Oberon angled risers, and riding position became perfect (for me)

Hmm, I bought some risers and didn't end up using them.  I'll drag them out and take a pic, maybe sell 'em.
