892 miles - more bar risers, 48mm total
Installed the KTM bar risers tonight. It's extremely important to torque the nylocks that compress the rubber bumpers inside the tripleclamp to 20Nm! That amount of torque keeps down the vibrations in the bars, and was the difference between a numb right hand and no problems.
I'm a little concerned that the combination of the KTM and Touratech risers will weaken the setup. The KTM risers appear to be very strong and seat securely into the tripleclamp and provide a strong base for the bar clamps. The Touratech risers seem less strong, I guess only time will tell. Hopefully I won't be testing the crash worthiness of this setup.
