Bar risers that are ANGLED.....

Chatting to a 1200BMW rider (yes, I had to lower my standards... ) he showed me the angled bar risers he put on.
Done a Google search for some for my Tenere but couldn't find anything?
Any ideas?
Cheers

I like the look of the rox risers, but I'm wondering about cable lengths, especially on lock-to-lock. Any ideas?

I've seen fixed angle risers, and Rox that are adjustable. Though I've used a few different types, I found that changing the bars works much better.

I think I'd try Ebay first, see what's for sale...

Renthal enduro medium or Renthal enduro high are what used to be called Dakar' bars. If you get the 'high' version you won't need risers I reckon. ...you can gain a bit of slack on the throttle cable by re-routing it. And Off the Road do longer cables. Steve

flexing/twisting of bars

Thanks for the suggestions so far.
What concerns me is flexing or twisting of the handlebars once they're raised.
I'm worried about them twisting where they've been raised; does that make sense?

I think that's a fair concern. The mounts that the post fix into are rubber, so it would make sense to thing the extra leverage would cause movement.

I went down the Renthal Enduro High bars, so some height, rake and sweep changes. I've never see any movement, and the bike's front end is stripped right now for a fork rebuild, so I'd have noticed! If the risers are quality, then you should be OK, cheap with too much tolerance in manufacture and you might get movement.

The benefit of new bars is the sweep, so the bars come closer to you as they would with risers, but the sweep change makes holding the bars more natural/comfortable over the stock bars.
