Quick 8 mile run. First bike rides great I like everything about it. One issue It seems to lean me forward upper body more than most Adv bikes I have ridden. I am long legged short torso 5'10". Has anyone used bar risors yet? I feel my arms need to go up and back a bit.

I haven't yet, but I am going to add some bar risers as well. Rather than add spacers under the handlebar trough, I will probably install Tusk risers for 1-1/8 handlebars.

Make sure to check for clearance on the bottom of the stock mount, before you order those...

I will thanks, I am still not sure if these are the best solution for me, they do offer the best possible adjustment.

I haven't seen those before. Very cool adjustability.

Check out Rox risers. They also have models that you can adjust front/rear position.

I looked at Rox before buying the Powemadds, I believe the powermadd to be a stronger design. So I went with the Powermadds.

Is that a fortune cookie, or a leaf on the ground?

I thought the rice was ice.

I wish my bike would leak Chinese food.
