Reversing Risers on 07 S40
02/20/07 at 21:22:42
Hi,
I was thinking about reversing my risers on my 07 S40 to give some more space up front. Just wondering if this makes a lot of difference and if the risers actually look ok reversed ? If anyone has any comments or pics that would be great.
Thanx
Glenn ???

I did that shortly after I got my '05. It helped. The bars were too close before. I thought it looked OK. Not as odd as I would have thought.

Just curious. What does "give some more space up front mean"? Got any pictures, guys?

I did this with mine. It realy helped with my long arms. Moves them away from the knees a little more. Greg 650 I don't have any picts. but I believe that john1652 posted some on a different thread. Strangeling67 it only takes about 10-15 minutes to swap then arround so you can try it if you don't like you can swap back in just a few minutes. One word of advice, put a towel over the tank as the bars may come down rather quickly when loosened, don't ask how I know :'(.

I did that on mine as soon as it got home from the dealer. I have long arms also and it was much more comfortable. Now when I turn around in the road, my elbows don't jam into my ribs. Also you will find that you set more upright and your butt won't go to sleep, or you don't have to do the front of the seat raise. It feels more like a dirt bike posture. Ill post a picture i have on
bikepics. Don't mind the quality of the pic
It puts your hand position about 4" higher and 6".
forward.

Oh yeh!!! Maple trees=maple syrup. I'm the fourth generation of tree tappers. My dad used to make extra money as a kid selling it.A couple of guys around here have "sugar shacks" built out in the woods to boil it down from sap to syrup.I just do enough for my own, and my kids consumption. I just boil it down in a turkey deep fryer, and finish it up on the stove in the house. It takes any where from 12-18 gallons of tree sap to make enough syrup to fill a Jim Beam bottle. GOOD STUFF. I took some to Alice's Restraunt and Reelthing scarfed it right up. The stuff in the store is 10%. I prefer 100%

Hey. Don't blame me.
I would have discussed risers but I couldn't see anything else in his pitch black bike photo except for his license plate.

Rob, it got started in the cafe thread on hot sauce and somehow ended up in this thread, must have been the high quality photo messed Greg up.

I warned everybody it would be a great picture. Your right about the plate but you can see the bars pretty good. Instead of the bars straight back over the tank like a running rabbits ears, they look more like a German shepards ears in the alert mode.
