Riser bars on Conti 535

Just wondering if anyone had fitted risers to their Conti 535, and if so what fixings did they use please?
Can’t bear to part with little Red Annie but fancy a more upright riding position.
Cheers

I have seen it done a few times. Noticed one on ebay the other day which looks really well done, the dealer may be able to advise if you like the look. Ebay listing number 283530184993 (sorry, still don't know how to post a pic).

Hosts risers with LSL bars fitted on my GT 535 plus bar end mirror. The overall bar width is much narrower. I found the clip-ons were far too wide. Pics here

I think the higher bars really suits the look of those particular bikes. Actually nicer than with the original clip-ons. But then, I have never wanted a cafe racer or a sports bike - I prefer the "off road" look.

Hitchcocks do the bits you need so ring them or look on GT 535 accessories section. I bought their adjustable levers too which are great.

Hitchcocks get more of the fixing kits in this week so will be getting one of those and some bars too.
Just need to decide which bars now...

Hi Paul, hope you are well.
You will be able to judge for yourself soon, once sorted let’s set up a meet and a ride out.
Met an Interceptor rider from Sheffield who wants to join us next time too.
Cheers Andrew
