Default Higher bars on an 'S' - bar risers?

Has anyone put bar risers/clip on's onto a SV650 sport at all? Does it help with back/wrist ache at all without compromising the ride? Thanks!!! Any advice appreciated !

In the process of doing it, got me a nice set of purple dirt bike bars, polished risers and a new top yoke.

There are companies that make kits with all you need to swap it over in a day or so.

do you still have the clips-ons by any chance specialone?

You can get clip on risers which will do the job but my mate was in a crash before he was able to the mileage that normally hurts his wrists.

I have higher clip-ons on my SVS as described here

A huge improvement in comfort IMO, well worth it however you end up doing it.
