Anyone here run the 1 inch risers on their bars? Is there a difference in feel? Just wondering as I have seen them in the American Sport Bike catolog. |

I'm running S3T bars instead of using risers; I'm quite happy with the setup. |

Blast or S3T bars are about 1-2" higher than the stock M2 bars and will bolt right up without changing any wires or cables. I went with the higher bars and M2L seat to sit more upright. |

I am evaluating the same options for my X1 and was thinking that the risers would be a lot easier (and probably cheaper) since you won't have to replace the grips and disassemble/assemble all the switch gear. Right? |

Risers on the X1 is the best way to go, S3T bars won't work because the clutch cable won't clear the back of the tach. |

I have the risers from American Sport Bike on my M2. Well made and fit right on with no fuss. You can tell the difference. It's worth putting the Buell Traction Grips on as well. |

I had the S3 bars on my bike, but went back to the stock bars. The additional hight made me feel to much wind on my chest on the freeway. |

I have the S3T bars and the 1" risers... I can feel the difference. |
