I've read that people use Gen Mar risers with heli bars on gen 1s.
Gen mars are merely spacers that raise the handlebar mount, correct? They don't offset anything?
I have fabricated round bar spacers that bring up the handlebar mount 1 1/8". The spacers either need to be shorter or the heli bars need to be rotated further back (there is plenty of room at full lock to clear the tank) if the switch mount is to clear the lower rear corner of the windscreen.
Problem is the one handlebar clamp machine screw has to pass through the slot on the bar that's intent is too prevent what I would like to do.
I could machine a new slot that would allow the bar to rotate the 5 to 10 degrees I need for the switch mount, but I am thinking that slot is pretty critical in preventing the handlebar from spinning since the clamp bolts are only 7 ft/lbs.
Or I could remove the spacers, which would somewhat defeat the purpose of the mod. If I want to shorten them, I have to have a buddy mill them down, I need to know exactly how much to take off to clear, without giving away anymore 'bar height than I have to in order to get the clearance I need.
Any ideas/previous experience with the issue?
Thanks,
