    looking at the 2014 sales brochure the stock bars may only be adjustable by buying the spacers from Honda ? is that right ?

    there is not adjustment procedure for bars in the Manual, just for the seat

    You can buy Honda risers, or MotoPump risers if you desire more height than the Honda risers offer.

    Stock you have no bar adjustment out of the box without buying an accessory item.

    Definitively worth it. I installed my .95 inch risers yesterday and the upper body position is just right now.
