you've just summed up EXACTLY how i feel after switching to risers two weeks ago. my bike is so much more fun to ride now but i think i need to shave another inch off both sides. try oury grips if you don't already have some on there. they are the cream of the crop.
yeah i'm going to get some oury grips but for right now i'm using some trials grips that look pretty neat and feel nice. my only issue with the riser bars is skidding feels kinda odd..i don't skid much anymore but since i do ride brakeless it is something i have to do every now and then.
