Apex adjustable risers/clip ons have arrived..finally

[shadylee]

For anyone who struggles with long rides or back/wrist pain but don't want a "sit up n beg" bike this may be of interest.



So far they look really good,there's up to 4" of upwards rise from the posts,then there the bars that have 9 preset angles giving more downward aggressive all the way to upward lift angles,these are changeable via the pre-drilled holes in the riser post.

Then there's the forward/backward adjustability with the fork tube clamps,so you could go narrow bars or wide and forward bars,machining looks really good and nice in the anodised black.

Will update when I get them fitted,main issues will be fairing clearance and cable length,so I may not be able to make use of the full range of adjustability.

Here's the you tube link showing them,

Well...after totalling up custom and excise charges and the rm handling fee they are coming out at £253 delivered or for the 3" rise kit about £215 delivered.

Alternatives to look at are,

Helibars-these are fixed risers that don't move,just re-welded bars for angle and lift.

Convertibars-similar to the apex but offer HUGE height (circa 5-6")

Woodcraft adjustable bars- lovely bits of kit but eye wateringly expensive (like bike jewlery)

[rsv gone!]

How strong are they? Any flex in them one fitted?

Haven't fitted them yet but they seem rather solid,when tightened up I highly doubt they will flex at all.

Not test ridden yet but some fitting up pics,they are infinitely adjustable.

But if buying for a sportsbike then the 3" riser kit is all you need as after 1"-2" of lift you would either need to start cutting fairings or installing longer brake lines IMHO,then again..if you need more than 2"-3" of lift then I suggest a new upright bike is what's needed.

That looks like an early ninja?

if it is do you really find them that hard to sit on? they are quite comfy and upright for a sports bike

Yeah it's a 2000 j1, the "lardy sports tourer" ninja lol,as standard they do have raised bars "for a 600",but when I lowsided mine I bent one of the OE clip ons and couldn't find a replacement anywhere so I had to install some basic Chinese clip ons that didn't have any lift past the triple tree.

So these are now my compromise,plus I'm best part of 6ft 3 lol

Just been out for a test ride and I'm very impressed,like a new bike

I have a w reg 2000 zx 6r I made some plates to raise the bars to see if it was worth doing. Good result. I had to remove the fairing support to get the lift. I see you have not had to. What make did you install and did you need to do any other mods?
