OMG am i'm really having a dumb day!

I'm guessing the pic is on one risers i.e the top and bottom!!!?!!!

Would raising the bars be enough or am i best to get some that bring the bars closer?

I fitted Pazzo adjustable levers as my hand would cramp on the clutch, and it's much better. See how you get on though-it's probably also getting used to the bike, you may find it doesn't bother you once you are more used to it?

Glad you got the height licked, good on you

If I was you I would raise the bars a touch and bring them a lot closer to yourself , I have the ABM comfort kit on my Pointy , I suffered terribly with cramps and the tinglies when I was using clip-ons , they made the bike for me those bars did ........ without having bars I would have sacked the bike . If your weight isn`t on your hands you will be a lot comfier , be happier when coming to a standstill as well , your body weight will be better supported by your pelvis as well instead of the wrists/hands .

I shall snuffle about on the net and find you a sorted pair for your bike Ruth , may take me a while as I`m having a bit of an "Off" evening

That`s one option I have seen , I`m very friendly with these people and can make an enquiry as to whether they would fit a naked SV , they go under your original risers and you put longer bolts in , will bring your bars back nearer to you without adding height .
