Pc, those look exactly like my risers without the extensions.

- March 24, 2013, 23:04:31 PMHere's some pics of my stock risers on my 1500. The pics were showing my F&S windshield mounts, but you can see the risers quite well.
The only thing between the risers and the the top of the triple tree is the windshield mount, which is virtually nothing.

would be really interested in sitting on a couple different Drifter 800's to see what the different seats and risers make in fact if any....

- March 24, 2013, 22:49:49 PMBetcha there's a bolt head hiding under the handlebar going through the riser "extenstion". Looks to me like taking out that 4" extension, or spacer would put it back to stock.
I can see what you mean - those appear a little awkward-looking, maybe - hard to tell without seeing the whole handlebar picture. Mine (I don't know what brand they are) were made on an angle, sweeping them back a bit. I think they put the bars in a nice position, comfort-wise.

- March 24, 2013, 22:41:06 PMI'm getting a mental image... Maybe yours use the original clamp and just use a longer bolt to attach the riser part - I have never had mine off, and they came on the bike, so I don't exactly know what "stock" looks like.
I looked up the OEM parts on kawasakipartshouse, and if yours look like the attachment, then maybe that's exactly how your risers are. Looks like taking them out and/or shortening them would only entail getting shorter bolts, maybe.

- March 24, 2013, 22:30:29 PMMy risers look like a 4" pipe is seperate from the part that holds to the bars. It's hard to explain without pics, but, they do look detachable.
Okay, I'm uploading a pic soon.

- March 24, 2013, 22:10:27 PMThis is a pic of my risers. The actual "riser" part is half of the handlebar clamp, so it can't be removed and left out of hte pictures, without replacing with something else to clamp the bars. Yours could be different, though.
