RE: Alternative riser kit for Sprint's

["Rick Damiani" <rickd@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If the set-back is more than ~1/2" or so it would have to clear the preload
adjusters somehow, which would likely raise the minimum rise quite a bit. It
would also require additionall bolt holes so the clip-ons could be bolted to
the riser and the riser bolted to the upper clamp. That would have the
effect of making either a minimum set-back, a rotation of the bars, or would
prevent using the bolt holes in the flange of the original bars. I'll play
around with my model some this evening and see what the limits are.
