Have you installed the risers? 'Curious what height you found comfortable.( I'm 5'11" and the forward position on the stock seat really messes with my neck/shoulders/wrists.
Also, was installation difficult? Did it necessitate installing longer cables? Thanks for any feedback!

1-1/8" bar O.D. is for the large diameter bars fitted to some ADV bikes. The standard bar on an NT is 7/8."

I have the 1 inch risers on my NT and I still get pressure on my wrists. I have been toying with a pivot riser to bring the bar lil higher and little back , but the stock cables (clutch and brake) don't have enough give for that.

I am planning to get this to extend the clutch cable:

Easy Clutch by Moose Racing... | Technical

I knew about this item a long time ago and wondered if it'd help Deb because she doesn't have a monster grip in either hand. This is really made for off-road racers/riders where constant clutching is sometimes necessary but I found the ferrule sizes were appropriate for the Honda clutch...

And this to extend the brake hose:

I ordered this from aliexpress (https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4001000394138.html) for $5 and 1 month shipping time ..

Clutch, I will extend my self. Break hose, I will take to dealer to add the hose extensions and do a brake flush.

Winter project for now ...

PS: Same page on Amazon has the riser for 7/8" bars also.

Thanks for the quick reply, Sunny. Much appreciated.
I'm thinking the 1" risers might be enough for me. In eye-balling the bars, it APPEARS to me that installing the risers would be fairly simple. Was that your experience? S.

I got the bike with the risers installed.

When I was trying to fit the pivot risers, it was easy to take the riser on and off. 1" non-rotating risers should not be a problem.

Just google the way on tightening the risers bolts and use the method you feel is right.

1) The front of the riser should not have any gap (between the two riser surface)

OR

2) Tighten the bolts equally, so that there almost equal gap between the surfaces in the front and back.

You can use a torque wrentch to tighten as per recommended numbers, OR just tighten it based on gut feel (i.e. I did not have a torque wrench when I tried my swap, but now that I have, next time I will torque it as per spec..)

Ref yellow arrow in the image to the gap / surfaces I am mentioning
