Ohendo, are you using the Emgo bars with the risers, or just as they are?
Ha ha , I just became a member on this site and did not look at dates, either way thanks for the link, cheersThat might be some kind of record, replying to an 11 year old thread!
FZ1 bars are excellent, IMO...with up and back risers of course. The wrist angle of the stock FZ6 bars was my issue, just not natural at all. The FZ1 bars solve that, but then you're leaning too far forward, as you noticed. Throw on the up/back risers. Problem solved. (Can be found on eBay among other sites).
I've since moved on to new bars, however, to get me sitting even more upright with no weight on my arms. Link below. Same wrist angle as FZ1 bars but swept back more like the stock FZ6 bars.

Funny story, sold the bike…and a year later bought it back.Hey. How’s the vibrations on emgo bars? (If you still have the bike)
Hmm. Ok. I wonder which one would be better out of euro and superbikeFunny story, sold the bike…and a year later bought it back.
No vibes in the bars to speak of, but I have HVMP heavy bar ends. No idea what vibes would be like without them.
Have heard great things about Rox risers. They are expensive, hence reason I just went with the inexpensive 1” up/1” back fixed risers. Advantage of Rox is you can pivot to whatever angle you like.Hmm. Ok. I wonder which one would be better out of euro and superbike
Specs in the bikes attached.
Pretty close. I think just the bars may not be enough to get the upright sitting positon that’s why I might get the pivoting risers by ROX. They aren’t cheap. But if it makes the ride great. It’ll be worth it. I started another thread to see if anyone else did it.
So 1 up. 1 back. With superbike handlebars was just right for you?Have heard great things about Rox risers. They are expensive, hence reason I just went with the inexpensive 1” up/1” back fixed risers. Advantage of Rox is you can pivot to whatever angle you like.
I’m also 6’1…yes, have loved the setup since installation.So 1 up. 1 back. With superbike handlebars was just right for you?
I’m 6’1. Reach is far enough lol.
I’ll get one of the 2 I guess probably.
Awesome. Thanks for the infoI’m also 6’1…yes, have loved the setup since installation.
Just got my risers and handlebars in the mail today. (Same as yours) Hopefully doing the change tomorrow. Did you have to take the fairing off and route wires and hoses or just straight up switch?I’m also 6’1…yes, have loved the setup since installation.
EMGO 7/8in. Superbike Sport HandlebarWhich bars did you go with?
No faring removal…And no cable changes. (But I have aftermarket brake lines, might be a little bit longer than stock)…can’t be 100% positive you won’t have to make some minor cable routing adjustments.Just got my risers and handlebars in the mail today.
