Has anyone used those risers, do they work well. What is your opinion on them.

The way they work is bottom part attaches to stock mounts where your bar would go and then bar itself is mounted on top.
It allows you to move the bar forward and back so if you are like me and have adjustable forks you could move them a bit forward to go around the adjusters.

That is my point I am thinking if they will be safe. They are sold in us by gilles and gilles is a good company and us is a "big" country but I still have my doubts so was hoping some one used it.

Looks a bit over engineered - I guess the rotatable design gives more options on bar positions? I would personally go for a solid taller riser, or just swap the bars to get the end result I wanted. Bear in mind any major lift on bars will require longer new brake/ clutch hoses to suit.

The multi adjustable clip-ons like 'variobars', although mega expensive take a lot of beating.

If you can't find a suitable riding position with those you must be deformed.

I am not deformed but I do not want clip-ons.
