    Guys
    I’m getting older and I’m really struggling with my 2008 blade.
    This is my last throw of the dice and I’m thinking of trying risers / Heli bars but don’t really want to off load over £300 if it doesn’t work.
    Anyone know of anything out there other than Heli bars that actually work ?

    Good grief £300 really? Seems a lot of money for handle bars?
    Just bought a set of full adjustable Renthal clipons for my R1, they only £130 and seem real quality, but not risers obviously, but to help my 6' 1" lanky body fit my tiny R1 better and give better adjustment of my controls and a longer reach :D

    Thanks guys for all your replies.
    I actually went out the weekend for the first time this year, and i managed about an hour before I had to get off for a stretch.
    I've dropped about half a stone recently and get to the gym about 3 times a week which could be making a difference.
