2011 Bar riser on a 2010 - 696

[les96]

Looking to raise the bars up to sit a bit more upright

The 2011 696 has a taller bar riser as standard, has anyone fitted one of these and do all the cables reach ok with the extra height.

I already have Risoma bars that have helped a bit

Did you fit a genuine 2011 696 part 36011011A or one of these off e-bay?

How was the e-bay part quality

My wife had the OEM 2011 riser installed on her 2010 696. With the stock bars, there were no cable modifications necessary. She noted a bit more comfort due to the reduced reach. She's 5'2" and was almost laying on the airbox cover before the riser mod. She still leans forward, but in a more manageable position.
