Thank god for Riser Extentions

I have been a bit confused about bar risers extentions. You get them because you are short, and your arms have trouble reaching the stock bars, or because you are tall, and you are leaning over too much with the stock bars?

Thanks,
Jamie

Got mine to get a little more upright position. I'm 5' 11" so I wasn't leaning like crazy. Mine are the taller ones, Cycle Accessories West I think. They were a stretch for the brake lines but seem to be OK. Big difference, much less wrist pain. Vibration seems less too but I'm not sure how they would have had anything to do with it. I love them. --Matt

Any pics of this Givi riser?

I apologize for the mistake, it's not Givi it's Gen Mar. Not a whole lot to see, billet pieces that slide into the existing risers and provide an 1 1/2 inches of rise and a 1 inch or so of reduced reach. Suprising that this small of an improvement would make the ride that much better. Who'd a thunk it.
