1996 R1100RT Handlebar Bar Back Risers?
After a few hundred miles with the Ilium Bar Back Risers installed I can say they are a great addition to comfort. I really like the more upright riding position. According to the info on there website, these raise the bars 1 inch and move it back 1/2 Inch. They took about an hour to install. Previously I would get a slight pain in the back of my neck after riding an hour or so. That is gone. Also, with the more upright position I got less pressure on the groin area. Now the stock seat is almost an OK seat. So, thumbs up. See pic below before bar backs with the bar backs installed. Oldcarman jim
