Well, I have a major wrist problem, so I 've been thinking of a modification, but I cannot afford the Helibars or something similar.

I found these as an affordable alternative (see pictures below)

There are from a firm called GBMoto and needs no modification on cables, ect. They lift the bars for about 17/18mm.
Has anyone tried these? Any opinion is welcomed.

I have the Genmar risers which look very similar. They raise the bars 3/4 inch - around 19mm if my math is correct and they have made a considerable difference.

I had the GenMars and sent them back when I got the HeliBars. I doubt youll be happy with the GenMars. My advice is to save up for the HeliBars.

I have been very happy with the Gen Mars. They did the trick for me along with lowering the pegs about 3/4 of an inch.

I have these riser mounts. They were easy to install without modification to cables, etc.

I have found them helpful in reducing fatigue to my risks. D$%^ aging!

I saw two post where wrist were an issue. I found for me that setting the hand grips/bars/risers at different angle made a heap of difference. The best I can describe it, is to set it up for a golf grip as apposed to a baseball bat grip. Works for me, and I do have the Heli-risers.
