Handlebar height

I was wondering if anyone knows of any handlebar risers which can raise the height beyond what I current have which is about 2". They could probably go another inch and i'd like the bars to come forward a little as well. Not possible with these bars i'm guessing. Perhaps there are some which do. I'm trying to get the perfect rising position in terms of comfort which my VFR doesn't have yet. This is probably because I'm cruising around 40mph roads and not going fast! And don't put "grow longer arms".

You may need to switch over to conventional hadlebars; there are kits available that either replace the whole upper triple clamp or simply add a couple of bar clamps in place of the clip-ons. Have a look for Hurricane handlebars from Webike Japan, or Trickbitz on eBay.

There were five VFR's at the SpringRide a couple of weeks ago. All of them had bar conversions. I had Helibars and will say the bar conversion is the better option.

Cheers for that

Fitted my helibars. Needed some modifying, extra holes drilling. Also quite expensive and had to pay import tax. Worth it I think for the extra comfort for under 5ft11 guys or girls. And I’m an all year round biker. Thanks for the advice
