I have a used pair of Bugsplat risers-about 2 inch tall spacers that I paid around 30$$ for a couple of yrs ago and I'll send off for 10$$ (just S&H or darn close to it). They move the bars up and back some--about max. for stock cables. I got them to check out the reposition thing w/o spending a lot of dough. He quit making them I think but someone else makes something similar. Worked fine although the look may not appeal to all. Put different bars that don't need other than stock risers on this Spring. I personally prefer that approach. So they're sitting here. I'm posting here because they aren't really "for sale" and lot's of folks wonder about risers with the Nad. And this is one way to go that is quick, easy and can give you an inexpensive way to check out the riding position. If interested let me know. I'm new here but will probably check in daily. I have 05.

What bars did you put on?

I put on a set of Flanders, but don't remember the #. They were almost the same as the stock but brought the grips "in" about two inches. The length from the top bend to the grips may have been a tad longer, but I don't think so. This made a big diff for me. Had to replace the grips, too, but the total worked out to about the same as high end risers-- About 100 for the bars and 65 for Kury Isos. I did a 7hr gas and go with them and I felt fine except for wanting to take the helmet off. So Splats or any other riser are history for me. The stock cables aren't so tight either. I am very happy with the result. Course, anyone else may feel different.
