I ride my sprint about the same distance to and from work in and out of the
DC area. I haven't found a need to add risers to my Sprint. I find that one
has to use their back and/or stomach muscles to prevent one from putting to
much weight on the bars. Oddly, I drive almost the same distance as you do each
day. My round trip is about 75 miles a day depending on how I vary my route.
Try keeping your back straight and use your stomach muscles that might help
your commute.
There is also another alternative to the below. You might want to check them

can't vouch for any of the "risers" or other solutions. I actually like the
riding position of the Sprint.

Hey all,
Just picked up a new Aston Green 03 on May 6th. Already done Skyline
and BRP (east coast US) as a 'getting to know you' ride. Totally different
world coming off a CBR1000F. I have about 3k miles on it so far and I just
put my bags on Friday night. So far I love it but my daily 76 miles of
commute is making me think about Heli bars. Since a good portion of my
commute is slow speed, the weight on my wrists is taking its toll. Not
bad, just a tad annoying.
So who has helibars or genmar risers or Skyking risers and what do
you think? Which ones keep stock brake lines? Are there any unforseen
cons? I like the look of the Heli bars but not so much the price. If
there is a working archive to point me to, that'll do nicely. Look forward
to acquiring much info here.
Thanks
