Has anyone got or put risers on a ZX6R?

If so, where did you get them from and how much did they cost, also did it relieve the preasure on your hands much?

Was thinking about it for my 96 zx6r, all thoughts appreciated.

by risers do u mean heli bars or putting a set of MX bars on??

Heli bars or something similar, not MX bars.

From memory they're not available for a 6 as old as yours - I think they were only made for 2000 onwards zx6rs. I personally think the best way to relieve pressure on your hands and wrists is to firstly relax, then use your stomach muscles to hold your weight instead of using your wrists. The bike will handle better as a result too.

Trouble is Dave I think its probably that part of my anatomy that is putting extra preasure on my wrists!!!
Maybe I need to go to the Jenny Craig Forum,

in direct combination with the above try squeezing your knees in more against the tank should relieve pressure from the wrists.

Aaahhh, so you're built like me then. Breath out and let your stomach hold you up

try ebay in the states, you need "heli bars"....or Easyrider Imports in OZ can get them for you, I believe he is a sponsor and is based in Sydney.

when you order them ask them to also enclose a "take-Away Muggacino" of HTFU !!
