I have 25mm up and 35mm back risers fitted and whilst it has helped my neck and shoulders I still get the ache in my back but a short stop relieves that. I don't know what make they are as I got them from my brother who had them on his wife's er6.  I had rox vario risers on my gs1200. expensive but good.

I use the ten pounds ones from m and p.  Work a treat.  Why pay more.

I went with 20mm risers from M and P.

Just the ticket and cheap.

Have had rox risers on previous bikes.

The general consensus seems to be that 25mm is possible with most stroms, but even that might entail a bit of re-routing of cables etc. 30mm and above risks having to get a extended brake hose. When I find my 20mm risers I'll fit them to my 2017 650 and post results on here! :icon_wink:
