I'm going crazy with bar risers.
I've mounted wunderlich ones. The height (+25mm) is fine but I'd like the handlebar to be more far from me, i.e. shifted forward. Unfortunately I'm not able to find risers that would solve the problem. Rox are too high for my purposes
Any suggestion?

Marci. Have you looked at SW Motech Bar Backs?. They can be used the other way around- i.e bar forwards, and they will give you (i Think) 30mm height and 20 mm forward, just check in case I've got the measurements right because I'm going on memory only

Thanks
checked, they move bar position up 30 mm and back 21 mm (or front) Hole spacing: 32-38 mm

I have just to check if hole spacing fits, and whether moving forward the handlebar may create problems with the key.

update,
yesterday I checked the bar and I realized that BMW made complex something that should be simple
the Oem bar clamps have a trapezoidal shape (see pic)
The SW Motech bar backs will not fit as all the other risers that works similarly.
In addition moving forward the handlebar of 21mm is not possible since it would interfere with the ignition key.

I will search for complete replacement of clamps which allow moving forward or backward the handlebar.
I friend told me that they are quite common for off-road bikes (probably some designed for KTM may fit)

Risers and similar help in improving the ergonomic of the riding position
Typically there are needed when the bar is too low for the driver.
In bikes that are going to be used off-road this modification is quite common to allow riding uprights (not seated)

In my case, I need them since I'm relatively tall (184 cm) and I replaced the oem seat with the high one, as a consequence in the standard setting the handlebar becomes too low.
In addition, coming from spor-tourer bikes I prefer having it moved slightly forward to avoid straining my back while driving

Marci, I believe some of the bar risers on the market are symetrical, meaning you can possibly mount them backwards, result in moving the bars farther forward

My "symmetrical" was referred to the the OEM bar clamps that have a trapezoidal shape and do not permit to add concave spacers immediately under the bar.

In any case if you lool at the position of the bar and the ignition key you will realize that you can mode forward but just a little bit because otherwise the bar will go on the ignition key and you will not be able to insert it
