So how far down did that lower them from stock?

Yeah please let us know. IMO the super tall risers aesthetically still look ugly, maybe I would rather get shorter risers and keep the stock bar,

75mm lower, 70mm forward.

Do you have a picture of that from head on?

And one at full lock?

thanks for sharing. Would you say that you can go even lower. It looks already tight from this pic.

 

[soulkitchen#9]

No, you'd need a different bend and risers to get lower. This bar is 0 rise, 40mm sweep.

Wait for an R9?

What do you think about using an adjustable riser like gilles?
or even the rizoma which is the same price as the rizoma handlebar.

 

[soulkitchen#9]

I think nearly anything is possible. I like the 2DGT's, with the right rise and sweep it is possible. The Rizoma's look good too.

that is just ridiculous! Now the display needs to be lowered hahaha.

Anyway i think i will go with the 2DGT’s as it had quite a lot of adjustment and then find a bar that i like.

I found the range of adjustment of the 2DGT's with respect to a 2020 MT09. Stock riser of a 2021 has a height of 115mm so maximum lowering is 21mm compared to stock. Can adjust fwd a total of 26mm if I assume the original starting position is the same as 2020 MT09. I am not concerned with moving the handlebar closer to the rider so I have not included that adjustment, but one can just flip the risers around.

The lower version of rizoma is 42mm and thus offers a 73mm drop compared to stock. The stock risers have offset of 5mm to centerline of the riser and so do the rizomas, so the adjustment forward would be the same at 10mm.

Nice schematics!
I read that the '21 headtube was lowered 30mm.
The fwd adjustment on the Gilles will allow more bar choices. Will be interesting to see what combo you pick.

Look like Hurricane Swallows! Nice to see my favorite XSR.

So I swapped the handlebar risers around to get that extra 10mm of reach. Was super easy to do, just sped some extra time trying to get the handlebar perfectly aligned with the wheel, maybe there is some trick that I dont know about. Anyway, I did not imagine I would notice a big change, but I must say it is quite noticeable esp at full lock.

How do you mean? The bar should self-align on the risers, right?

 

[MasterFavelado]

I did not notice a feature that locks the risers in place?? maybe I will check again. I would have expected that.

It's been a couple months, has anyone figured out more options for handlebar position?
Did anyone get those Rizoma risers and switch them out?
Clip Ons?
Aftermarket Intakes to help with clearance?

well personally i would get the gilles 2DGT’s as they allow the most adjustment foward to increase clearance from the air intakes. If you want to remain with the standard riser + handlebar setup. I was waiting for Gilles to release the 2021+ version as it will be cheaper then the one offered from yamaha made by gilles directly. The 2DGT’s from the previous gen mt09 might fit and are reasonably priced.

I think going with some sort of standard clipons will make the position quite aggressive and inhibit turning radius.

I ordered the Gilles FJ 9 2DGT's in November from Bellisimoto in Vegas. Should lower the bar 26mm and be near spot on for me. Just patiently waiting for the risers to depart Luxembourg.
