What is the recommended handlebar riser / setback for the 2002 R1150RT?
 
Variable by your height, arm length, and your torso length. Also variable by seat position and whether stock, in high or low position, or custom seat. Sorry to not be of the type of answer I think you were looking for.:bikes

Usually they come up .75 inch, and back .75 inch, or close to that dimension. Believe it or not, it does not seem like much but it does make a difference. Mine also happened to move the bars wider about 1 inch total, which I liked. Hope this helps.

So what flavor did you use?
 
Wanderer, you actually gave me somethings to think about. I want to try a OEM seat and maybe get rid of the aftermarket seat that came with the bike. So, I better wait on the risers.
Thanks
 
Thanks Leadfoot, I'm going to experiment with another seat for my bike and once I get that straightened out I will be trying to do something with the bars. I'm keeping your link.

I think it is called moto solutions-either way they have an ad in every ON and they are the cheapest.
