Default ‘18 Breakout riser swap
I’ve searched the forum but can’t find any info on swapping out the standard pullback style risers for shorter straight ones. I want to go 16” or 18” Carlini bars but the original risers ruin the look. Matt Laidlaw posted a 16” ape conversion on YouTube any there were a few people that agreed the factory pullback risers are a bad look!
Any one on the forum done a bar and riser swap on the M8 Breakout yet?

Thunderbike is the typical go to for breakout short risers. I can't confirm operability with the new top clamp though. I'd check there first.

Agreed. The concern is the clamp with the new 2018s as they added the gauge screen.
