Hey guys I am wondering if you can help me out a bit. If everyone could fill out this questionaire for me, it would be greatly appreciated.

Amount of rise:
Pros:
Cons:
machine it is on: (snowmobile, ATV, ect.)

Any situation where you wish it was higher or lower:


Thanks a ton guys, i am interested to find out the results. If you have one on a snowmobile and a fourwheeler or anything else feel free to post multiple times, to get all of your machines that have one. Even if you dont have a riser but want one please let me know which you want to get. Steve

i'd like to get some 3". l like to ride standing quite a bit and it would be more of a relaxed position insteade of reaching down.

Tusk bar risers, about 1 1/2 inch rise. Perfect for sitting down, but could be an inch or two higher for standing up.

Im 5'8" btw.

I bought a kit off ebay. Pro taper bars, grips, and 1 1/8 clamps. The bars were cr hi bend. The clamps added about 1" to overall height. Perfect for me. 5'11"

i used 2" Rox Risers on my 400, with renthal 781 (ATV Race) bars. at 6'3" i needed something to get the bars up, and this was the best option for me, for a few reasons:

1. they were inexpensive. i got them from a guy on here for i think $55.

2. most of the times i rolled that bike, the risers would tweak position, instead of bending a stem or frame (tho i did do both, more than once, lol)

3. the Rox units had two axis of rotation; i could have the bars laid back, but still position them more forward from the seat for my longer reach

when i made my fat bar clamps, i put about 3/4 inches of rise in them, which made it perfect for me at 5'7" (short, i know...)
