    Hi Guys

    I have fitted a set of Burleigh Mid Western bars that  have a more comfortable position than the standard ones, but are a little low.

    I am thinking of putting  4" straight risers on to lift them a bit currenly  they are 2", which I think will solve the issue and with the bend in the bars maybe sit them back a touch more???

    Just wondering if anyone else has done similar to this.

    I had a set of Burleigh westerns, looked good but at high speed the upright position meant the wind just battered me senseless on a longer ride. Put a set of 1.75" Burleigh T-bars on and was perfect, had better control and could land-split without worrying. If all you are going to do is cruise round town then fine but if you're going to do some serious Km then think again!

    Ok I changed the risers last night and took it for a short ride, it feels like it is a great improvement, I'm riding to the GP on Sunday with a few mates so that will be a better test, I'll try and put up a before and after photo.
