| Today i tried to believe my new awesome mod: 1" handlebar riser. What a huge difference from the standard and last but no least: there was no need to make any changes on the hoses, cables or wires. Now i have a more upright position when riding and take the pain out of the neck, wrist and shoulders.As i also have back problems, now i can do much more miles without any problem to stop and rest for a while. I think the Suzuki with so many engineers and technicians have not thought of this solution so simple but extremely effective. | |

| Hi Sim I bought "as new" here in Portugal, from a guy that bought directly from States. He sold me for less than half the price he did and never used. He has a M800-2013. Also said that are with more than 1" but the only problem are with new cables, wires and so. I went to ebay and typed "suzuki M50 handlebar riser": http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2050601.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.Xsuzuki+M50+handlebar+riser+.TRS0&_nkw=suzuki+M50+handlebar+riser+&_sacat=0 Perhaps was one of these... or maybe not But please pay attention Sim and all members: The inside hole from the standard, in mine, as only 1"-1.1" thread and the length of the M10 screws are different from 2010-2013. The ones that i bought from the guy i told before, came with a length of 5.5" and in inches not in millimetric thread. So, i have also to buy 2 news M10 screws with 3.5" length to fit. | |

| Looking good José. I have been telling my wife that a centermeter is the same length as inch for years. | |
