How To Install EASY BUDGET FJR1300 Handlebar Risers For More Back Comfort

I just turned 50 and have had back problems all my life. As such I could use a weeeee bit more upright position and this kit (and the others just like it) is the fastest, cheapest kit to solve the problem. It's a simple install but do pay attention to the tools required. If you don't have them all, I guarantee you a buddy does :) Block out an hour with a couple beer breaks, it's no big deal.

Oh and don't pay attention to all the negative reviews of these kits. If you look, they are almost all just mad because it doesn't come with instructions. It's dirt cheap, what do you want. Also, hi, welcome to the instructions lol

I installed footpeg lowering kit a few weeks ago, that sure relaxed my knees (60yo). Risers may be next... Thank you for the straight forward video on how to install them....

Good seeing you Bryan. I have a similar riser kit on my BMW R1200RT, and they really help for long days in the saddle. So do feet forward pegs.

Badabing bada boom! Did this to my bike a year ago, big difference for me, still it would be nice to have the handlebar a bit closer to me, but to get that you need to go with Helibars, and way more hassle.

I just swapped my FJR1300 for a BMW R1250GS because of the sitting position, tried the risers but didnt like them. I advice you do the same and swap your FJR for a GS, then your upcoming videos will match my type of motorcycle 🙂 You have delivered a lot of knowledge and maintenenance-pleasure to me in the past, thanks for that 👍

Great job well explained. It's nice to see you back on the bike with upgrades. I tought you and Fortnight were on the missing list. 😅😅😅

I tried those 1” blocks with my first FJR, I didn’t think they made much difference, I have just fitted a Helibar Riser to my new FJR, yes a bit more mucking around but I really like the improvement

Good video as usual.I bought a cheap Riser block kit like that a few years back from China and the locating roll pins did not align well on one of them. As a result I bailed on the install. However I did not take out the wire harness/ stud mechanism and then use the hammer for persuasion.👍

Glad to see you back. I’m still loving my 2013

I got similar risers but with a slight pullback, also available from many different suppliers/manufacturers and fairly cheap, for those who want the bars further back than original :)

Hi. Thanks for the video. Do you notice any difference in hand protection from the fairing. It normally moves the wind around my hands, does this change when they are an inch higher?

[kevinmcentire]

Glad to see your videos again. Do you still have your FZ-09?

[RRRRefuelRideRace]

Well done. How tall are you by the way?
