Put some stright handle bars on the bike had some clearance problems so here what a quick fix is for risers. "doing what I can with what I got" first one to guess what they are gets a cookie

Ding ding ding winner they are 1/2 to 3/4 pipe fitings with grade 8 3/8 bolts holding together (5" long) they almost match the bottom of the risers perfect Oh and my handle bar is some 1" o.d. D.O.M. tubing I got for $23 at the steel yard

i tried the broomstick thing.. couldn't do it. felt like my wrists were twisted in at a weird angle.. couldn't get used to it. so now i use the risers of my brothers Nomad 1500 and I'm gonna make new narrower bars this winter.
