Does anyone know were I can set of bar risers?
There is a company in Maine-Helibars that make a replacement handlebar & risers for the ZX-10 & many other makes. I inquired if they are going to do the same for the H2. I JUST EMAILED THEM TODAY. I will let you know when I hear back, otherwise I will call them. If more H2 owners would like a more relaxing ride, they should contact Helibars & let them know. You can Google them to get their contact email & phone number. I realize that the market is small, but it would be a "feather in their cap" if they did.Does anyone know were I can set of bar risers?
I just ordered these today, The fork tube diameter for the H2 is the same as the ZX-10R.

I'll let you know how they work out once received and installed. I like the convertibars because of infinite adjustment, I had them on a 2007 VFR800 and they were great. when touring I could set them up for comfort and when doing the twisties adjust them for handling.
With only 1 pinch screw the bar stock is likely to rotate unless the contactI just ordered these today, The fork tube diameter for the H2 is the same as the ZX-10R.

With only 1 pinch screw the bar stock is likely to rotate unless the contact
on the male portion is knurled and maybe even "pinned" into place.
To satisfy the latter, I drilled and tapped a 6 mm by 14 mm long set
screw to thread through the clamp and shaft .
I used Dan Moto bars, which have 2 squeeze screws instead of just 1.So Dolan, are you talking about convertibars and if so what bike do you have them installed? How about a review?
would it be possible to remove some material from the clamp to get a tighter pinch?I used Dan Moto bars, which have 2 squeeze screws instead of just 1.
They still rotate within the clamp which why I knurled and pinned.
If I can ever get more than 10 pictures up here, I can better illustrate that
and how to resolve stock hose length by getting more slack.
I use a small reservoir for the front brake, same size as clutch one.

Why not just use photobucket or similar service to host your images? I think we're all limited to 10 images unless you upgrade memberships or something...I used Dan Moto bars, which have 2 squeeze screws instead of just 1.

No.......... The problem is the small clamp area is a loose fit to begin with.would it be possible to remove some material from the clamp to get a tighter pinch?
Wouldn't mind upgrading , but there isn't even a provision to do so.Why not just use photobucket or similar service to host your images? I think we're all limited to 10 images unless you upgrade memberships or something...
2 inch , which is the most to be had with the fairing.Did the bars accomplish what you were looking for?
Looking at the website photos the convertibars will have a bit more adjustment so until I install them I'm wondering how much I can bring the bars up and adjust the angle without hitting the tank or fairing from lock to lock.
Thanks for the pictures that looks good and it looks like it gave you about a 1-2 inch rise?
Good to know, thanks for sharing, I'm hoping it positions me on the bike as I would like.2 inch , which is the most to be had with the fairing.
Still had 1/2 material left, which I later trimmed from the rise.
The Dan Moto actually had more adjustment combos available.
The riser has a back and forth adjustment at the bottom, which can't
be seen in the picture I posted, as well as rise and handlebar angle.
The best combo was just about parallel to the tank depression, 1/2 inch clearance.
Max rise was limited by the fairing.
