Riser gap ?

Post by Cabby »

I have what seems a large gap between the bottom of my riders and the top yoke, as seen in pic below, not only that, there is a fair bit of play when pushing/pulling on the bars.

Is this normal ??

This is normal. The mounts have some rubber bushings.

Have you tried to tighten the nuts on the risers. The rubber may have deteriorated some and tightening may take some slack out.
