He usually does a something for members. MonsterParts is probably my favorite vendor. Great service, always got follow up emails and returned calls.

I put Woodcraft 3" risers (50mm) on my 796 after reading this initial thread and they are awesome.  Height is a personal issue but the 3 inchers just seem to work for me.  Fitting them was a royal pita:  I have read some folks put enough sweep on them that they can clear the headlight assembly.  I had to grind the headlight rim right down both sides to get enough clearance and even then there were problems routing the hydraulics.  No pics yet, got to take off the top triple and paint it black first [roll]    I was expecting it to be a simple job but it was baaaaad.  But I'd do it all over again in a heartbeat.

i just finished this install myself. It's definitely a great mod to have....look and feel.

i went with woodcraft 3" risers and a speedymoto top triple (to avoid trimming the headlight brackets) this setup was a direct fit (make sure to get monsterparts clipon adapters if you have square style reservoirs)

After thinking about this mod for about 8 months, I finally just completed it. I used the Woodcraft Clip-ons with the 2.5" rise and the speedymoto top triple. It was a pretty easy fit and the look and feel are amazing. I just wanted to thank you guys for all the useful information that made this swap much easlier for me....

Just my $0.02...

I had some minor issues with the hardware they came with, stripped a hex one one of them, and I dont like how you have to use to coffin spacers, because with the levers adjusted for my hands, the clutch switch doesnt work.

But as for the clipons themselves, no complaints.
