Are you talking about the handlebar riser block?

yes... thanks. why are there two pieces there? a wide riser block and another bit in between the bars themselves?

Not sure of yoour brand but the center is center cover. go to helibars and look at the ST1300 riser various big pictures.

It looks like it might be an early MCLarry riser, since I don't see any markings for a Heli Riser.

Hello STeam 13... I'm hoping for some more bar riser help.

So it would appear that the bar risers installed by a previous owner move the bars out to the sides as well as up... true? And if so, is this common for bar riser kits?

I'm ready to lower my bars but hadn't considered that removing the riser block would move them in as well. I suppose I'm ok with it.

Any other consequences I should consider before I dive in? Any idea who made these? And are they worth anything if I were to try and sell them?

thanks!

If you remove it hang on to it until you are sure you like the new riding position. I consider the $200 I invested in a MCL Riser some of the best money I spent on my '04

I don't think it's common to increase the distance between the handlebars at all. Generally the kits raise the bars and change the angle of the grips slightly. Maybe that's what you're seeing. That might increase the distance between the ends of the grips slightly but I don't see that as moving them out to the sides. But we may be saying the same thing in different ways.

They're not Helibars or you'd see that stamped or cast into the riser block. I don't know if the MCL version of Helibars has any markings on it. Helibars sell for around $190 IIRC. If you can find out the maker they might be worth at least $100 to somebody. You may be missing a little cap that goes on to the stock assembly but you can get that from a dealer or online.

Nope, not worth a penny, but, being the great guy I am, I'll take it off your hands, and, being a magnanimous person, I'll even pay the shipping.......

I'm still trying yo ID mine, and I'm missing the center piece, which, for some weird reason, annoys me.....

You might read the specs on the Heli website as well as the MCL site. Then measure your bars before you take them off. After you mount them again, measure them and you might be able to id them this way. I seem to remember seeing another manufacturer of riser blocks - you might google that and see what comes up.

So I took at look at my service manual and yes... the mounting holes for the aftermarket center beauty cover line up with each handle bar's inner mounting holes, so the bars themselves are spaced out wider than stock with this set up.

Unless you have the stock mounting plate you can't remove the riser plate.

You need everything in this pic but the riser blocks to put the bike back to stock.

Thank you very much The Dan... extremely useful info !!!

So I just bought this on ebay for $10 + $5 shipping... fingers crossed!

I removed the bar risers (and wideners) and installed the $15 ebay stock plate. Better already just giving the new ergos the garage test.

Here's yet another look at them... this time they are off the bike... finally !

The double A is for scale (battery not included).

I bought this just for fun...

Did you ever find out the brand on these? I have the same on mine and I want to change them.

Ohh.. unless you are talking the OP pictures, that's a MCL riser, Heli bar riser knock-off.

The pictures of the riser with the AA battery. You belive there a mc Larry product?

That most likely is an early MCL product. Helibars made the riser and apparently didn't patent it. MCL came along and copied every version from what I can see.

Helibars have the name stamped/cast into the riser.
